2024 red carpet highlights expressed personal style when dressing.
The best dressed celebrities didn't just dress up. They offered carefully crafted looks that combined big-letter fashion with pure fun, from tailored pieces to archival gems and themed ensembles tied to blockbuster movies.
Stars and their stylists increasingly used the carpet to tell and shape narratives that sparked conversations beyond, “What are you wearing?”
Red carpet chatter reached an all-time high thanks in large part to the release Evil. The cast went on a worldwide press tour with the film's leading ladies, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivoembracing the magic of methodical dressing at every stop, from New York to London to Australia.
To create Evil fashion fantasy (and fan base), designers including Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood and Tom Brown created looks that captured the essence of Grande and Evivo's on-screen characters Glinda and Elphaba.
Archival looks with meaning were another way celebrities made headlines. Case in point: Sidney Sweeney, who hit Oscar parties in the legendary film Mark Bouver a dress Angelina Jolie received at the Academy Awards ceremony in 2004.
The tribute took social media by storm. Bouwer, 65, celebrated the 20-year anniversary via Instagram, sharing pictures of Sweeney, 27, next to a photo of Jolie, 49. Sweeney responded with a shout, emphasizing the allure of the rare archive dress: “Thank you. @marcbouwer for pulling this iconic dress out of my stash. It was an honor to carry a piece of history.
To that end, we rounded up 10 looks from last year that will go down in red carpet history.
