Holly’s Red Carpet Favorites

 

Keltie Knight- BEYOND!

o Look: Strapless tea-length white gown with beading on the bodice.

o Designer: Paolo Sebastian

o Why It Stood Out: A stunning, beaded masterpiece that made a bold statement. The gown's elegance was undeniable, with intricate beading that added depth and texture.

 

Stacy Martin-Honorable Mention

o Look: Beaded Louis Vuitton spaghetti strap triangle top dress.

o Why It Stood Out: A sculptural, princess-seamed dress that was unique in its design. As we're sure this was much prettier in person, the intricate details and couture nature of this dress were truly so different from any other dress on the carpet. Snaps all around.

 

Storm Reid- YYYAASSSS QUUUEENN

o Look: Short red dress with a matching cape and belt.

o Designer: Alexandre Vauthier Couture.

o Why It Stood Out: A bold, striking choice for her first Oscars, showcasing a confident fashion-forward look; with a belt! Loving this on her. 

 

Ariana Grande-DYING. DEAD. DECEASED.

o Look: Count them. Not 1 but 2 custom sculptural dresses. One red gown for the performance of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and one for the red carpet.

-Designer: Schiaparelli SS25 Couture

o Why It Stood Out: The structured peplum, sweetheart neckline, and crinoline were just mesmerizing on the red carpet gown. The performance gown was a mix of elegance and theatricality, complete with a 3D shoe illusion on the back. Whhaaatt? Fabulous times a gajilliion.

 

Yasmin Finney-WOW: okay what am I looking at?

o Look: Black mermaid dress with 3 foot sculptural feathers way above her head.<
