This week, celebrities are proving that low-key style doesn’t have to mean a casual outfit. In fact, pared-back elegance is a surefire way to make a dressy look pop. Sleek, streamlined silhouettes dominated the red carpet, with A-listers like Zoe Kravitz, Jenna Ortega, and Bella Hadid choosing designs that quietly made an impact. It was all about choosing tasteful details and interesting fabrications that made a simple frock turn heads.
Take Bella Hadid, for example. At an Orbella event in West Hollywood, she slipped into a blush-pink Zuhair Murad gown. While the slinky piece lacked in volume or color drama, it made up for it with intricate appliqué work. Selena Gomez followed suit at an Only Murders premiere, giving a fresh take on the classic LBD. Her Self-Portrait design featured a halter-style neckline and a bejeweled crystal bow, adding a touch of glamour to a timeless silhouette.
Beyond the gowns, sculptural shapes also dominated the step and repeats. FKA twigs opted for a vintage Armani column gown for the premiere of The Crow, while Naomi Ackie chose Loewe’s avant-garde white draped gown for the Blink Twice premiere in London. These looks showcased the power of clean lines and architectural elements, creating a modern and sophisticated aesthetic.
Even at the Democratic National Convention, the focus remained on tasteful and streamlined looks. Former First Lady Michelle Obama, First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris all struck a chord with their choices. Harris opted for structured suiting from Chloé, Obama chose a well-cut Monse set, and Biden embraced a glitzy Ralph Lauren sequin dress, showcasing her love for American designers.
