The year began strong at the Golden Globes, where Taylor Swift commanded attention in a shimmering green Gucci creation, while Margot Robbie’s Barbie-inspired pink Giorgio Armani Privé gown went instantly viral.
The Grammy Awards saw Dua Lipa elevate her style game in a metallic long-sleeved design by Courrèges, joining Miley Cyrus, whose custom dress featuring 14,000 gold safety pins demonstrated the intersection of craftsmanship and creativity.
At the Oscars, Billie Eilish and Emma Stone made powerful statements in Chanel and Louis Vuitton, respectively. The Met Gala saw Lana Del Rey in custom Alexander McQueen, while Zendaya’s dramatic appearances in both custom Margiela by John Galliano and vintage Givenchy spring 1996 couture cemented her status as a fashion icon.
