A red carpet should, above all things, be fun. What is a step and repeat for anything other than to entertain and serve up a fashion fantasy? This week, the best dressed stars understood this assignment. Fun silhouettes brought an exciting energy back to the star-gazing space. No minimalism or stealthy-chic looks here: It was all about the bolder, the better.
Take last night’s LACMA Art + Film Gala. Supermodel Alex Consani hit the function in a black one-shouldered Gucci gown that featured an oversized, asymmetric neckline. Anya Taylor-Joy also went for volume in her vintage Pierre Cardin, which included a mega-ruffled duster coat.
In Miami, Hunter Schafer embraced bright neons in her upcycled NIHL hoodie and skirt—the perfect antithesis to earthy-tone fall dressing. Another fan of the artful clash? Sarah Paulson, who continued her All’s Fair press tour in a striped rugby shirt and embellished skirt from Michael Kors Collection—the perfect mix of high-low dressing. None of these looks were safe or expected, and thank god for that! We’d rather risk-taking than a total snoozefest.
