Red Carpet Fashion Trends 2021

Trend 1: Dopamine Dressing

After a year spent indoors, many stars took their opportunity to make a flamboyant fashion statement. For instance, singer Billie Eilish showcased a frothy ballgown at the Met Gala, embodying the uplifting spirit of dopamine dressing.

Highlighter neons and bold colors -- like Michaela Coel's stunning yellow Christopher John Rogers outfit at the Emmy Awards -- were seen across red carpets.

Trend 2: Archival Fashion

Stars are increasingly focused on sustainability, showcasing archival designer pieces. For example, Olivia Rodrigo wore a 2001 Versace gown, reflecting a revival of iconic styles.

Other stars breathed new life into existing archival pieces, with designer Roberto Cavalli putting a golden skeletal twist on an existing gown from its 2000 Fall/Winter collection for Zendaya.

Trend 3: Daring to Bare

Skin was on display at numerous events, highlighted by stars like Megan Fox. At the MTV VMAs, she captivated audiences with her daring Thierry Mugler dress.

Trend 5: Fashion as Wearable Art

This year, celebrities and designers pushed the boundaries of fashion, creating thought-provoking and sculptural designs. Bella Hadid turned heads in a remarkable gown by Schiaparelli paired with an oversized bronze necklace.

Designers also experimented with structure and form: Zendaya's figure-hugging Balmain dress at a Venice 'Dune' premiere was designed to look as though it was wet -- although it was crafted from nude leather.

Trend 6: Celebrity Throwbacks

As innovation continues on the red carpet, several stars have chosen to pay tribute to past fashion icons. Kaia Gerber, for instance, wore Bianca Jagger’s iconic 1981 Met Gala gown this year, bridging the past and present.

Some like actor Gemma Chan also used the opportunity to pay homage to cultural icons. Chan's Prabal Gurung dragon-embellished mini dress at the Met Gala was a nod to Chinese-American film star Anna May Wong.

Trend 7: Y2K Nostalgia

The 2000s nostalgia remains prevalent in current fashion trends. Stars like Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo reference styles from this era, as demonstrated by Lipa’s sparkling butterfly dress at the Grammy Awards.

The over-the-top denim looks of the 2000s lived on through pieces like Lupita Nyong'o's Versace Met Gala gown, which was more high fashion than Britney Spears' and Justin Timberlake's infamous double-denim red carpet moment from the 2002 American Music Awards.
