Flowers! Sequins! Learn! This week’s best-dressed stars wore formal looks that were both fabulous and fun. A-list stars like Zendaya, Rihanna, Selena Gomez and Nicole Kidman are all putting new stamps on eveningwear, proving that dressing up for a gala or glitzy movie premiere doesn’t have to mean following strict dress codes or sacrificing your individuality. In fact, it can be an opportunity to embrace a look that means the exact opposite.
In New York City, Zendaya sued her Challengers press tour by stepping out in a custom-made Erdem dress covered in vibrant flowers. (Very fitting for the upcoming Met Gala next week, where the star will serve as co-host this year.) For the Time100 gala in the city, Dua Lipa also opted for a glitzy Chanel number, punctuated by a large bow and a deep neckline. , while Selena Gomez went the vampy route in a form-fitting leather dress by Brandon Maxwell.
On the West Coast, meanwhile, stars continued to wear partywear in a way that felt fresh and modern. Last night, for example, Nicole Kidman accepted her AFI Life Achievement Award in a gold sequined Balenciaga number – looking like a trophy herself. Rihanna also looked like a golden sunset, wearing an Alexander McQueen corset dress; She styled it in a monochromatic way, with her shoes and barely-there sandals matching the neutral tones perfectly.
