If you thought red carpet fashion couldn’t get any more glamorous, think again. Awards season 2024 is right around the corner, and it promises to be a celebration of emerging designers, diverse talent, and a touch of nostalgia. Stylists, however, have their work cut out for them with brand partnerships, new collections to promote, and sponsors to please. It’s a delicate balancing act that requires careful consideration of fashion trends, sustainability, and the ever-changing landscape of Hollywood.
A New Era of Fashion
According to Holly White, a stylist dressing emerging stars like Joe Locke, the recent SAG-AFTRA strike has transformed fashion into an art form. Celebrities, unable to attend premieres, have taken to attending shows, dinners, and store events in outfits that were once reserved for grand occasions. This newfound experimentation will now make its way onto the world’s biggest stage.
Sienna Miller’s whimsical Schiaparelli ensemble at Vogue World: London is a prime example of this fashion revolution. Stylist Harry Lambert’s masterful creation, featuring a crop top and bubble skirt, became one of the defining looks of the year. It’s a testament to the power of pure fashion drama and the potential for groundbreaking fashion moments at the upcoming awards shows. With a hunger for red-carpet wear after a year of limited opportunities, attendees will be dreaming big. They’ll be turning to the new generation of designers, such as Sabato de Sarno at Gucci, Peter Hawkings at Tom Ford, and Chemena Kamali at Chloé, to set the tone for the year in fashion.
Disco Fever
“If there’s a time to shine, it’s on the red carpet,” declares Holly White. Metallics will reign supreme, with modern silhouettes taking center stage. Zadrian Smith, who styles Ariana DeBose, agrees, predicting a contemporary twist on this perennial trend. Keep an eye out for Paco Rabanne, Alexander McQueen, and Ralph Lauren for dazzle and shine.
In addition to metallics, sheerness and fringing will make a big comeback, bringing the spirit of the flapper girl back to life. Expect heavy embellishments and relaxed silhouettes to define the revival of the ’20s aesthetic. The Attico, Prada, Jil Sander, and Givenchy will be leading the charge. And for the after-party scene, micro hemlines will keep things disco fabulous. Gucci and Tom Ford are the brands to watch in this department.
With these exciting fashion trends and the allure of Hollywood, awards season 2024 promises to be a feast for the eyes. Get ready for a stunning display of creativity, elegance, and timeless style. Stay tuned for an unforgettable red carpet experience!
