Celebrities whose red-carpet looks have been inspired by their movies

Of course, a movie premiere is a chance for celebrities to advertise their work, but in some cases, the red carpet also offers a great platform to convey the tone of the movie or to make reference to the character they have been portraying for the past few months. The literal dressing is not fancy dress, so it can be challenging to master, but it is a great way to be playful and have fun with fashion.

Here are some celebrities that took the challenge of dressing up the part and still looked fabulous.

Zoë Kravitz

Kravitz has been having a lot of fun with her tour wardrobe, drawing inspiration from her role as Catwoman in The Batman. Our favorite outfit is this custom Oscar de la Renta gown with a laced-up bodice and cat silhouettes that she wore to the New York premiere.

Zendaya for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’

Zendaya made references to the film several times while on the Spider-Man: No Way Home tour, but none more so than when she attended the Los Angeles premiere in a Valentino gown with a superhero mask and a spiderweb motif.

Jenna Ortega for Wednesday Premier

Inspired by her gothic character Wednesday, Jenna Ortega showed up on the Netflix show premiere in a goth bride-inspired look from the Versace fall collection.

Lupita Nyong’o for ‘Us’

Many of the references in Lupita Nyong’o’s red carpet outfits while promoting the movie was obvious to anyone who has seen Jordan Peele’s spooky thriller Us. The actress was influenced by her role at every turn, from sporting striking red contacts to making subtly humorous references to scissors and this incredibly spiky Balmain minidress.

Angelina Jolie for ‘Maleficent’

World Premiere Of Disney's "Maleficent" - Arrivals

For the 2014 world premiere of Maleficent, Angelina Jolie adopted the demonic appearance of her villainous persona. The actress dressed in a black leather, strapless gown with spike bracelets to ape the look of the vengeful queen, but with a glamorous red carpet twist.

4 Latina Fashion Designers Who Are Changing the Industry with Culture

Thursday, February 2, 2023

It’s no secret that the fashion industry has always grappled with the issue of representation, and Latino representation is no exception. The glossy catwalks of the 80s and 90s were nearly completely dominated by the (white), nepotistic European fashion houses of the day with little room for Latino designers to showcase their talents, let alone share their culture with the world; for the few that did exist–Carolina Herrera and Isabel Toledo come to mind–their Latino identities were noticeably secondary to their work. But now it’s 2023, and though the industry is not without faults, Latino/a fashion enthusiasts can now see their cultures and experiences reflected in fashion at all levels. While plenty of Latino men have made their way in the fashion world, I’d like to specifically focus on the women–who have been historically vastly overlooked–who are changing the game and pushing the boundaries of design by bringing Latin America to high fashion.

These creative clothing liberties are just another way this generation is rebelling.

Wednesday, January 11, 2023

One thing I look forward to at the start of every year is seeing what’s trending in the fashion world. It can be helpful to scope out trends to see what may or may not be a worthy investment for the coming year. With that being said, there are often trends that go out of style quicker than they come into style. Here are three trends that I personally won’t be investing in.

Adidas Takes Fashion House Thom Browne to Court Over Striped Motif

Thursday, January 5, 2023

The sportswear giant Adidas and the fashion brand Thom Browne are in a legal dispute in New York after Adidas alleged that the firm’s usage of parallel bars on its clothing violated the “Three Stripes,” which Adidas has trademarked. The jury trial started on Tuesday at the Southern District Court in Manhattan. It comes after Adidas filed a lawsuit in 2021, claiming that athletic wear with Thom Browne’s striped patterns “imitates” its long-standing branding.
