These 2024 Red Carpet Fashion Moments Will Stop You In Your Tracks

As a fashion connoisseur with over three decades of experience in the industry, I must say that this year’s red carpet events have been nothing short of extraordinary! From the Met Gala to Cannes Film Festival, these events showcased an array of stunning and innovative designs that truly pushed the boundaries of creativity.

2024 may be coming to a close, but these red carpet looks are forever.

2021 was marked by A-list celebrities delivering their best performances at every gathering, opening, and award show in Hollywood. Interestingly, many of this year’s style icons relied on a strategic approach to their outfits, which we can call ‘strategic dressing’.

For example, consider Zendaya who consistently embodied her character Tashi Donaldson during the Challengers press tour. At one occasion, she donned a stylish version of a tennis polo shirt, crafted by Simon Porte and his team at Jacquemus. The soft pink ensemble consisted of a shortened polo top paired with an A-line skirt via a single shoestring knotted as a bow. To complete the outfit, the Euphoria actress accessorized with a matching headband and shoes adorned with bows.

And Zendaya kept the tradition going for her other major release this year.

At the world premiere of Dune: Part Two, held on February 15th, the former contestant from Dancing with the Stars teamed up with co-star Timothée Chalamet in two extraordinary outfits that seemed to come straight from another planet. While Zendaya, aged 28, donned a Mugler ensemble reminiscent of a high-tech robot, Timothée, also 28, maintained the science fiction atmosphere with metallic trousers by Haider Ackermann, enhancing his armored appearance.

Additionally, it’s not just them; other stars are also moving from the silver screen to the red carpet. For instance, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who star in Wicked, have donned a series of popular red carpet outfits that seem to have been borrowed directly from Elphaba and Glinda’s wardrobes. The color scheme for the press tour was predominantly pink and green, but these two stars used fashion to convey their characters’ contrasting reputations as good and evil.

In a recent interview with Vogue on September 18th, Ariana shared that she and Cynthia have thoroughly enjoyed shopping with a character-centric approach. She expressed her desire to immerse herself completely in the personality of the character. Now, she has developed a fondness for the color pink and feels it’s become an integral part of her. Ariana believes this connection will endure uniquely and significantly throughout her life.

At the Los Angeles premiere on November 9, Ariana, aged 31, chose to pay tribute to Glinda the Good Witch by donning a stylish pink-checkered Thom Browne dress, complete with a coordinating hair bow. In stark contrast, Cynthia, aged 37, opted for a bold custom Louis Vuitton outfit in vibrant green, which included a fringed coat and striking accessories.

In addition, some stars chose to showcase their personal lives on the red carpet, proudly displaying their baby bumps as their most stylish accessory.

On November 17, Jennifer Lawrence graced the red carpet at the 2024 Governors Awards, drawing attention to her expanding belly in a stylish, form-fitting chocolate brown dress embellished with golden details.

The woman who won an Oscar and announced her pregnancy with husband Cooke Maroney in October completed her appearance with a golden handbag and feathery fringes.
