Let’s break down our top picks from the week—because the real drama isn’t in the speeches; it’s in the fashion.

s the curtain falls on another year of fashion extravaganzas, you’d think the red carpet would take a breather—but no. A few film premieres and indie award shows have kept the style train chugging along, serving up looks that range from ‘living Renaissance portrait’ to ‘high-fashion rockstar off duty.’ Celebrities have used these events as the perfect last stage for the runway to flaunt their style, providing a final dose of glamour, sophistication, and daring fashion before the new year officially sets in. Over the past week, we’ve been treated to everything from razor-sharp tailoring to gowns so elaborate they could double as museum exhibits. With their beautiful haute couture and perfectly-tailored coats, these stars on the red carpet have proven that fashion never sleeps.

Nicole Kidman

Nicole Kidman at the Babygirl premiere, twirling in a Balenciaga gown that looked like the aftermath of a flower shop explosion—in the best way possible. The structured bustier, sprinkled with pink and ivory organza petals, was cinched with a black satin bow belt, like a gift-wrapped couture confection.

Sebastian Stan

Sebastian Stan made Prada minimalism look downright rakish in a brown suit that shone with effortless charm, thanks to a slate-grey open-collar shirt. He finished the look with polished black leather dress shoes, perfectly aligned with Prada’s understated aesthetic.

Zendaya

Zendaya had her white swan moment in custom Louis Vuitton, exuding goddess energy in a halter-neck gown paired with Bulgari jewels.

Daniel Craig

Daniel Craig, at the London gala screening of his new film, was all mocha monochrome—wide-leg trousers, oversized vest, scarf, and yellow-tinted sunglasses.

Angelina Jolie

At the 2024 Gotham Awards, Angelina Jolie stayed true to her minimalist muse archetype with a halter-neck black maxi dress that whispered, “I’m timeless, darling.”

Colman Domingo

Colman Domingo, balanced Burberry’s classic pinstripes with a relaxed overcoat, accessorized to perfection with Cartier bling, delivering modern-day Gatsby realness.

Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett served up Clueless meets Studio 54 vibes in a plaid and sequin Ashish suit at the London gala screening of Daniel Craig’s new film. She wore a plaid green and multiple-colored patterned ensemble; however, the sequins shone brightly against the outfit as if it were fated to shine with its bold and attention-grabbing finish.

Timothee Chalamet

Timothee Chalamet, who seemingly raided a ’60s rocker’s wardrobe, wore razor-sharp, double-breasted Celine suit featured a rare 4x8 button stance—because of course it did—and practically screamed, “Hedi Slimane made this, and yes, you’ll hear about it.”
