10 Best Red Carpet Looks of 2024: Chappell Roan, Rosé, Stray Kids, Zendaya & More

Chappell Roan’s persona is heavily drag-inspired, and her aesthetic typically includes campy theatrics. As a result, every outfit she wears is a fashion statement. Her Y/Project red carpet look at the MTV VMAs was, of course, no exception. The pop princess walked the carpet in a medieval-inspired sheer chiffon gown featuring a deep neckline. Roan added wrist cuffs adorned with chainmail, an extra-large cross necklace, and an actual sword to accessorize. Later at the VMAs, Roan followed suit (literally in a suit of armor) and cast a fiery arrow into the stage’s castle to open her performance. Hear ye, hear ye — this was most certainly a style slay.

Dua Lipa in Schiaparelli at The Golden Globes

One of the things we know about Dua Lipa is that she isn’t scared to take chances on (and also off) the red carpet. Just this year, we’ve seen her debut a see-through, midnight blue lace gown at the Academy of Country Music Awards, a black and white corset with an ultra-low-rise black lace skirt at the Met Gala, and a glamorous, black skin-tight leather dress for the BRIT Awards. But for 2024, her red carpet standout look was undeniably her incredibly glamorous black Schiaparelli gown at her Golden Globes debut. Synonymous with being simultaneously witty, elegant, and surreal, Schiaparelli experiments with traditional tailoring, highlighting subversive details and using the most extraordinary materials. This dress was no exception – it featured a black velvet bodice with golden skeleton-shaped embroidery and black puffed fabric flaring out at her shins.
