A new roundup of 77 celebrated RED-carpet looks explores how stars have used fashion to make an impression at major events. Its examples range from Timothée Chalamet’s backless jumpsuit to A$AP Rocky’s Met Gala quilt.
The feature argues that standout outfits should feel unexpected, remain memorable and project confidence. It points to looks including John Malkovich in a disco-inspired jumpsuit at the 2026 Venice Film Festival, Gwyneth Paltrow in red velvet in 1999, Frank Ocean in Prada at the 2019 Met Gala and Tom Holland in a suede tuxedo at GQ’s Men of the Year 2021.
Each selection is presented as a source of ideas for dressing for parties, with the collection spanning different styles—from bold statement pieces to more understated choices.
