EDITOR’S NOTE: Featuring the great, the dangerous and the ugly, ‘Look of the Week’ is a daily collection devoted to unpacking probably the most talked about outfit of the final seven days.
At this yr’s Golden Globes, which passed off Sunday evening, the red carpet trend felt break up. Many A-listers, equivalent to Amanda Seyfried, Pamela Anderson, Kylie Jenner, Tessa Thompson, Elle Fanning and Natasha Rothwell, went the best way of the traditional “glamazon” — glowy and dewy in an ethereal gentle coloured or shimmering metallic robe. A smaller quantity, although, got here wearing one thing with a bit extra edge.
Odessa A’zion, who performs reverse Timothée Chalamet as Rachel Mizler in Josh Safdie’s much-lauded “Marty Supreme,” wore black wide-leg trousers with a classic Dolce & Gabbana feather bolero jacket and black satin gloves. A’zion, who informed Deadline earlier this month she doesn’t make use of hair, makeup or fashion stylists, completed the look with a heavy black smoked-out eye.
Then there was Jenna Ortega, who is not any stranger to pulling a darker, extra extreme trend assertion on the red carpet. Ortega’s black satin cut-out robe — which featured a Victoriana high-neck and puff-sleeves embellished with lengthy beaded threads within the fashion of epaulettes — was the work of cult British-Turkish designer Dilara Findikoglu. Mia Goth stayed true to her title, and arrived in a customized all-black satin Dior robe and heavy eyeliner, whereas British star Aimee Lou Wood went for a basic big-skirted Vivienne Westwood robe produced from black tulle. Miley Cyrus, whose blacked-out shades have been ultimately eliminated to disclose her smoky eyeshadow, arrived in an inky-colored sequined Saint Laurent costume with pleated shoulder detailing that fanned outwards.
Elsewhere, Blackpink’s Lisa wore a black maxi skirt and sheer, witchy-sleeved high by Jacquemus with black tassels; whereas singer Audrey Nuna donned a black and white cape costume adorned with jumbo-sized satin bows and a birdcage face veil from Thom Browne’s Fall-Winter 2024 assortment.
But these aren’t your typical LBDs (of which this yr there have been loads, as stars tried to mirror the difficult politics of the time whereas nonetheless dressing for the event.) Through make-up and styling tweaks — Nuna, for instance, topped off her veil with a sweep of black lipstick, a notable departure from Browne’s runway imaginative and prescient the place the mannequin wore a basic vivid red — it’s clear these ladies have been channeling one thing moodier than only a timeless cocktail costume.
Call them the goth girls of the Golden Globes, oozing devil-may-care detachment and spicing up the glittering red carpet procession with a bit bit of thriller.
