The detail on the straps, the rolled waist, and the draped skirt all came together perfectly. Moreover, Lee has mastered striking the perfect balance between fun and beauty on the red carpet. Her Governor’s Awards look indeed proves her unparalleled fashion prowess.
Maison Margiela’s Haute Couture Takes Center Stage: Kendall Jenner Shines
John Galliano’s Maison Margiela haute couture collection has caused a stir on the red carpet since its runway debut. It’s easy to see why. With appearances on the likes of Hunter Schafer and Anya Taylor-Joy, the collection has become a staple at this year’s award shows.
Kendall Jenner further solidified the collection’s status as a must-have with her stunning appearance. Jenner exuded pure elegance and sophistication by pairing a sheer gown from the collection with high-octane silver earrings and a simple red lip—a truly divine appearance.

Dua Lipa in Courrèges: A Grammy Showstopper
Dua Lipa effortlessly redefines cool in head-to-toe silver sequins at the Grammy Awards. Pulling off such a dazzling look with an air of nonchalance is no easy feat, but Lipa manages it confidently.
Whether it’s the relaxed hair, the oversized dress fit, or the impeccable styling (a Tiffany & Co. choker is the perfect finishing touch!), this look has an undeniable allure that captivates from every angle.
Carey Mulligan Redefines Oscar Glamor in Balenciaga
Are you trying to imagine the epitome of an Oscars gown? Look no further than Carey Mulligan’s breathtaking appearance in Balenciaga. Every detail, from the scalloped edge to the ethereal tulle and the addition of gloves, contributes to the perfection of this ensemble.
Even Mulligan’s sleek bob adds to the overall allure, making this a truly history-making look that solidifies her as the belle of the ball.
Michelle Yeoh in Balenciaga: A Neckline to Remember
Yeoh’s neckline speaks volumes without explanation or proclamation—it’s simply brilliant. While Yeoh’s sparkling number for the ceremony itself was undeniably stunning, I can’t help but feel she should have donned this masterpiece for the main event. Designed by Demna, every detail of this gown exudes sophistication and elegance, making it an unforgettable choice.
Dua Lipa’s Hair Transformation
Something happened when Dua Lipa dyed her hair. Yes, this Houdini era is lovely. Moreover, the era has brought extra magic to her wardrobe this awards season.
Whether she’s rocking silver to leather or this Prada dress matched to her hair, all have been winners. There’s a sophistication to how Dua Lipa went about this season; yes, she’s a popstar dancing to Mugler on stage, but her red carpet looks are hard to resist!
Riley Keough Chanel Haute Couture, Golden Globes
As a fan of the iconic movie “Priscilla,” one of my highlights was seeing Cailee Spaeny’s portrayal of the perennial glamor queen in her Chanel remade wedding dress. So, it’s no surprise that I’m utterly wowed by Riley Keough’s striking resemblance to Priscilla, especially with that hair in her lacy white Chanel gown.
Keough, Priscilla’s granddaughter, perfectly embodies the film’s spirit, making her recent ambassadorship for the brand a match made in fashion heaven.
Elle Fanning’s Vintage Elegance, Golden Globes
I admire ’60s silhouettes, balletic hair and makeup, and lop-sided bows. If I were 17 again, I would have wished to wear this to my school prom. Heck, even as a 20-something-year-old, I would still swoon at the opportunity to don this ensemble for my wedding. It’s a timeless combination of vintage elegance that transcends age and occasion.
Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton: An Oscar Win
At the 2024 Oscars, Emma Stone won the Best Actress award and won hearts with her impeccable style. While many anticipated a creation by Nicolas Ghesquière, Stone surprised us all by opting for a demure, mint-green peplum dress. I expected something more dramatic and sculptural for such a grand occasion. However, her choice proved to be a stroke of brilliance.
Styled by the incredible Petra Flannery, the look differed from her previous sartorial references on the red carpet this season. Yet, it emerged as the strongest contender—fresh, simple, and undeniably stunning, Stone epitomized elegance at its finest.
