Celebrity Styles Lighting Up the Red Carpet

Ride the fashion wave with celeb-approved bold colors & maximalist styles lighting up the red carpet! Discover hot spring & summer trends now.

Spring and summer swells are bringing big waves to the world of fashion. After two years of digital events and at-home red carpet looks, awards shows, film festivals, and designer runways are finally back in bloom. All of that repressed fashion energy is finally being let loose, and celebrities are choosing bright, bold colors and maximalist style to celebrate the moment. From the BET Awards to Cannes, here are the hottest celebrity styles that are lighting up the red carpet.

All That Glitters Is Good

From latex mini skirts to sequined bra tops, super shiny materials are popping up everywhere, and red carpets are no exception. At Cannes, Helen Mirren dazzled in a long-sleeve metallic dress by Dolce & Gabbana, while Alicia Vikander power-walked the red carpet in a shimmering, copper-sequined gown with a unique cross-back design.

Moving on to the 2022 Tony Awards, Billy Porter brought the drama in a head-to-toe silver D&G suit. Kara Young strutted in a voluminous gown of lustrous orange with ruffled shoulders and a hidden bralette top, and Ariana DeBose oozed confidence and grace in a black sequined dress with a bra-top and a thigh-high slit that helped highlight her dancer's physique.

Two other celebs that can't be missed are Marsai Martin and Mariah Carey in attendance at the BET Awards. Martin embodied chic and fun beauty in a spaghetti-strap Dolce & Gabbana dress in glittering silver, and the original diva herself, Carey, made an unforgettable entrance with a custom D&G gown in black velvet finished off with an epic train in molten gold.

Show Me the Green

Color has never been hotter on and off the runway. This year, celebs and stylists have fallen in love with the neon spectrum, in particular, all shades of bright green. The full range of green has been on display at red carpets all season. Sutton Foster graced the stage of the 2022 Tony Awards in a flowing Dolce & Gabbana green gown. Issa Rae rocked an eye-catching, bright green mini dress at a premiere event, while Gugu Mbatha-Raw went with textured green fringe at the premiere of Where the Crawdads Sing.

Then, at Cannes, green reigned supreme. Sharon Stone hit the red carpet with a shimmering green strapless D&G gown in a snakeskin print, and Isabelle Hupert could not get enough of the color, choosing a structured gown that draped her in green from neck to fingertips and even included green leggings and green boots.

Maximalists at Play

Spring and summer have emboldened the maximalist style. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan posed in a voluminous Dolce & Gabbana gown at Cannes that was bursting with wearable bouquets, and Keke Palmer appeared on Legendary​ in a custom D&G outfit with layers upon layers of colorful tulle and a gorgeous beaded bustier. Wild, clashing prints and big, edgy silhouettes aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Classic black gowns and neutral tones have dotted red carpets this season, but celebrities are reveling in different trends. Bold colors, shiny fabrics, and fascinating prints are bringing joy and fun to high-profile events, and nobody is mad about it.
