With the launch of Instagram in 2010, crimson carpet model got here into sharper focus throughout the final decade, with the full energy of social media and a digital age pushing it ahead. Amidst the second-by-second wash of photos, The Hollywood Reporter picked the 20 seems that stood out as significantly influential.
Some are tipping factors of developments to come back (Beyoncé’s semi-bare costume at the 2014 Grammys and Gwyneth’s cape costume at the 2012 Oscars), model alerts with deeper cultural significance (Billy Porter’s gender-bending or the style blackout in 2018), “a star is born” markers of style influencers on the rise (Amal Clooney at Cannes in 2016 or Lupita Nyong’o’s awards season run in 2014) or just outfits so unforgettable that they set Twitter on fireplace, spawned memes and had been inconceivable to get out of thoughts even years after the truth (Rihanna’s 2015 yellow fur Met Gala robe and Angelina Jolie’s leg-revealing black Versace costume in 2012).
Arguably the most monumental second was the style blackout at the 2018 Golden Globes that made a press release in help of the Time’s Up motion to combat sexual abuse and to advertise gender equality in Hollywood.
This yr, Pose star Billy Porter has championed gender fluidity on the crimson carpet — most notably in the black velvet tuxedo robe and bolero jacket by clothier Christian Siriano at the 91st Academy Awards. This ensemble was so assertion-making and culturally vital that it swept THR’s lists of Best Looks of 2019 and Wildest Looks of 2019, in addition to this listing and the Wildest Looks of the Decade.
And then there was J. Lo’s redux of that hardly-there, jungle-print Versace costume from the 2000 Grammys throughout the Versace present at spring 2020 Milan Fashion Week. Both moments (twenty years aside) went viral. So this, too, needed to land on our Best of 2019 and Best of the Decade lists of sartorial milestones.
Of course, this finest-dressed listing is under no circumstances all-inclusive or definitive; there are actually many extra Hollywood moments which are equally memorable. As a place to begin, our crimson carpet roundup contains 20 style excessive factors from the final 10 years, in no specific order.
