Hollywood’s biggest stars delivered memorable fashion moments throughout 2024, setting new standards for red carpet excellence. The year began strong at the Golden Globes, where Taylor Swift commanded attention in a shimmering green Gucci creation, while Margot Robbie’s Barbie-inspired pink Giorgio Armani Privé gown went instantly viral.

The Grammy Awards saw Dua Lipa elevate her style game in a metallic long-sleeved design by Courrèges, joining Miley Cyrus, whose custom dress featuring 14,000 gold safety pins demonstrated the intersection of craftsmanship and creativity.
