Last week brought a mix of nostalgia and festive flair, with glittering textures dominating the red carpets alongside plush furs and sleek leather. Stars arrived ready to dazzle, making bold statements at every turn. From the film press rounds for Badcaptivating audiences with both compelling storylines and standout style moments, to the breathtaking elegance of ‘1001 Seasons of Elie Saab’, the week was a showcase of haute couture and high-end glamour. Sparkling, sheer pieces took center stage, while cozy, eclectic accents added a layer of personality to the celebrity ensembles, allowing each look to tell its own story.
The looks
One of the most unforgettable moments of last week came thanks to Halle Berrywho reached into the archives to make a powerful nostalgic statement during the “1001 Seasons of Elie Saab” show in Saudi Arabia. She stunned in her iconic 2002 Oscars dress, the very ensemble she wore when she made history as the first black woman to win Best Actress. More than twenty years later, the dress remains a masterpiece, with its sheer embroidered top and voluminous skirt with a daring high slit, proving that true craftsmanship transcends time. Both designer and muse deserve their praise for a look that will continue to inspire in 2024.
This was also the case during the London premiere of Gladiator 2, Jodie Turner Smith oozed effortless glamor in a breathtaking pink deconstructed Issey Miyake dress. The dress, with its striking slit, beautifully accentuated her radiant, deep skin tone and added a touch of daring sophistication. She paired the statement piece with sleek black Louboutin pumps and delicate gold jewelry, letting the dress take center stage. The look was completed with her unmistakable, bubbly presence, a testament to her impeccable style. Styled by a celebrity duo Wayman And MicahTurner-Smith’s ensemble was a triumph on the red carpet.
This season, fashion is all about volume, with celebrities embracing bold, oversized silhouettes and textured layers like never before. Fantasy Taylorwho never shies away from a trend, adds her signature flair to every look. At the HBCU Honors, she was, as always, a standout in a fashion-forward ensemble that played with textures and layers in the most captivating way. The ruffled sleeves ended in a mountain of sheer pleats, adding an eye-catching dimension to the jacket and shorts combo. A modern shirt with tie and button-down added a contemporary touch, while a statement hat completed the look.
