Red Carpet Trends

After the heavily trending palette of blues, pinks and purples of the previous week, colors became more variant, but make no mistake – those hues are here for the season. Add in mustard through gold with the traditional solids thrown in and we are predicting the most colorful red carpet in years.

Action heroes without capes, regular wear, plus jackets and capes on women.

This week in Star Style – stripes and florals were featured, but solids ruled. Special mention to Ruth Negga and Helena Bonham Carter.

White is really dominating in the US right now. Conservative men continue to edge towards brave in blue.

Summer is on the horizon and skirts lengthen and flow, while boys get bolder.

Cannes is over, men finally bring it, and white continues to trend.

On this year’s Cannes red carpet the mini had disappeared, but on Thursday it returned. Up-dos continued to trend.

Two days, two capes? Could it be the superhero effect? Up-dos dominate. Asymmetry emerges and men kinda, play it safe.

Early trend on the first day of the 71st Cannes Film Festival: hair was anything but boring. Knots, buns, braids, curls and controlled non-control epitomized by the amazing Isabelle Adjani.

A casual glance tells you that variations of red, saturated or denuded, are popping up regularly on the red carpet. Men are becoming all that and making their own fashion statements.
