Fashion moves at a breathtaking pace—sometimes faster than we can keep up. Yet last week, the industry seemed to shift into an entirely new gear, redefining what it means to be bold and daring. From the bustling streets of Paris to the glamorous red carpets of Hollywood, the sartorial landscape was a vivid tapestry of both classic and vibrant hues, daring cuts, and sparkling couture, leaving an indelible mark on our collective style consciousness. It was nothing short of a masterclass in risk-taking, where originality reigned supreme. Each look told a story, challenging conventions and inspiring a fresh wave of creativity.
At the heart of it all were the stunning highlights from the September 2024 Paris Fashion Week shows, where avant-garde designs came to life in dramatic fashion. The streets buzzed with fresh trends and a revival of iconic styles, infused with a spirit of reinvention. Fashion showcased its amoral beauty, effortlessly dancing between the realms of good, daring, and delightfully wild. Meanwhile, at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards, the red carpet sparkled with exaggerated fabrics, playful textures, and vibrant colors, making one thing abundantly clear: flamboyance is here to stay.
The Looks
It was impossible to overlook the fiery impact of tomato red, which made a bold statement at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards. In every shade, red emerged as the season’s undisputed color of choice, electrifying the red carpets. For instance, Chloe Bailey, honored as Musician of the Year, captivated audiences in a show-stopping Robert Wun gown. The corseted design, drenched in a striking red hue, elegantly hugged her silhouette before cascading into a dramatic train. Fitted gloves and a sharp, structured bust added an avant-garde flair, perfectly marrying high-fashion sophistication with modern artistry.
Not far behind in this crimson takeover, Meghan Markle embraced the vibrant red trend at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles Gala. She dazzled in a repurposed Carolina Herrera U-neck bustier gown from the pre-fall 2022 collection. The sleek column silhouette showcased her regal poise, while the striking scarlet hue set her apart in a sea of neutrals. This choice beautifully demonstrated that re-wearing can be just as iconic the second time around, proving that timeless pieces deserve a place in the spotlight.
Then came Zoe Saldana, who surprised everyone at the Emilia Perez premiere during the ongoing 2024 New York Film Festival. Renowned for her love of classic black ensembles, Zoe broke the mold in a bold red sequin gown by Ferragamo. The shimmering dress featured a gathered knot under the bust and a gracefully draped hem, exuding both sophistication and daring charm. This look was a nostalgic nod to her early red carpet days when she frequently wowed audiences with her fearless fashion choices—her iconic 2010 Givenchy Haute Couture gown still lingers in fashion lore.
Stepping away from the red trend, the streets of Paris Fashion Week were alive with celebrities experimenting with textures, shapes, and, of course, risk. Yet few commanded attention quite like Zendaya at the Louis Vuitton spring 2025 show. The star embodied ‘80s-inspired realness, delivering a retro vibe in the best possible way. Styled by Law Roach, Zendaya’s oversized boxy blazer with sharp shoulders paid homage to power dressing from cult classics like Working Girl. Paired with a bubble-hem mini skirt, she effortlessly blended structure with playful elegance. The look’s sharp, almost rebellious energy was perfectly complemented by sheer tights, sky-high pumps, and her signature Louis Vuitton top-handle bag.
