Dozens of red carpet events last week served as a stylish game of one-upmanship as Chanel, Dior, and Gucci dominated the scene.
At the LACMA 2013 Art + Film Gala, Gucci reigned supreme with a star-studded roster of celebrities walking the red carpet in the brand’s designs. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Zoe Saldana, Salma Hayek, Kate Beckinsale, Kate Hudson, and Olivia Wilde all opted for the glamorous Italian brand. Nicole Richie and Drew Barrymore swam upstream in Dolce & Gabbana and Vivienne Westwood, respectively.
A tribute party for the inimitably stylish and talented Tilda Swinton had style stars like Alexa Chung and Caroline Sieber donning their best Chanel Couture. Meanwhile, Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Olsen chose Dior to attend the Guggenheim International Gala. Beyond the brands, it’s clear that stars are looking to ladylike, feminine gowns with couture-like details, preferring sparkling embellishments, cutout details, and embroidery to plainer fare.
