“Doctor Who”‘s Ncuti Gatwa Brings Afrofuturism to the BAFTA Red Carpet
Following an outpouring of support from friends and fans for becoming the next “Doctor Who”, Ncuti Gatwa arrived at the 2022 BAFTA TV awards in a sleek, co-ordinated set that was fit for the “Whoniverse”. Designed by Nigerian luxury brand Orange Culture, Gatwa’s head-to-toe black outfit was a refreshing take on Afrofuturism. Although Gatwa has great red carpet style, his BAFTAs look was a welcomed departure from the tailored suits and luxe silk shirts of his “Sex Education” era. Gatwa’s look featured a black tunic with seamless tailoring, contrasting silk cuffs, a dynamic “peek-a-boo” keyhole neckline, and a peakcock-inspired hemline. The rigid structure of the tunic was balanced out by the fluid movement of the leather, fringed d...
The Ladies of “Downton Abbey” Wear Glittering 1920s Gowns to the Red Carpet Premiere
“Downton Abbey: A New Era” hosted its world premiere at London’s Cineworld Leicester Square on 25 April, and the movie’s leading stars dressed in their finest 1920s-inspired gowns. Lady Mary (played by Michelle Dockery) and Myrna Dalgleish (played by Laura Haddock) were among the best dressed, wearing sparkling, sheer-caped designer gowns. It was easy to see how the ladies of “Downton Abbey” took inspiration from 1920s fashion for their red carpet outfits. The style of the 1920s is often defined by the sparkling, sheer gowns worn by flappers and partygoers in “The Great Gatsby”. For the “Downton Abbey: A New Era” world premiere, stars wore sparkling and sheer gowns in colours of champagne, gold, silver, gray, and black velvet. Exp...

Zoë Kravitz’s Kitty Corset Dress Is a Cheeky Nod to Her Onscreen Character
Zoë Kravitz arrived at “The Batman” premiere in New York and certainly dressed the part as Catwoman. Kravitz, who plays the character Selina Kyle alongside Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, wore a custom Oscar de la Renta dress with the silhouette of two black cats at the bust.

The opening at the bust is fastened by corset-inspired lacing, and the silhouette of each kitty is perfectly positioned over each breast.

BRITs 2022: The Best Dressed Stars on the Red Carpet
The 2022 BRIT Awards are a much-needed fashion indulgence. Unlike film and television award red carpets, music award shows are dedicated to over-the-top celebrity outfits — and with stars like Adele, Little Simz, and Holly Humberstone leading the nominations, the looks promise to be dramatic, tailored, and a bit ’90s. Opening the red carpet was a daring, black Mônot two-piece set with zigzag hemlines worn by Maya Jama. Nominee Holly Humberstone also brought a bit of ’90s to the BRITs with a grunge-inspired black lace dress paired with feathered, arm-length cuffs. KSI kept it cool with an eclectic black harness worn over a smart grey suit, vertical split-hem trousers, and chunky platform shoes. And Anne-Marie switched it up with a minimal, black leather jacket, as opposed to her...

Dressed in a custom Armani gown and styled by Jamie Mizrahi, Adele brought the star power as she returned to the BRIT Awards after six years. Armani is no stranger to dressing stars for the red carpet. With the return of the superstar to her home ground, the brand created a classic evening ensemble to complement the occas...
The BRIT Awards 2022 Red Carpet Is Serving “Matrix” Meets Mugler
It looks as if everybody on the red carpet at the 2022 BRIT Awards had recently attended a screening of “The Matrix Resurrections.” Apparently, the sartorial order of the day was “undisputedly cool,” with attendees taking us into the future by swanning the carpet in black cutouts, structural shapes, ankle-sweeping coats, and a whole lot of leather. BRIT Award winner Little Simz led the vanguard in an all-black ensemble layered with a pop of neon green, courtesy of Prada. She completed the look with some red-tinted sunglasses that Trinity would no doubt approve of. Behind her came Ashley Roberts in a standout black halter-neck Mônot gown with leather gloves — this time fusing “The Matrix” with the late, great Thierry Mugler. It was clear to see MuglerR...
