Top 10 viral red carpet fashion moments of 2024

Celebrities on the 2024 red carpet exuded personal style while wearing their outfits.

The best dressed celebrities didn’t just dress up. From quirky pieces to archival gems to themed blockbuster ensembles, they created a carefully curated look that combined F-fashion with pure fun.

Stars and their stylists increasingly used the carpet to tell stories and create narratives about clothes that sparked conversations beyond, “Who are you wearing?”

Red carpet-centric chatter has reached an all-time high, thanks in no small part to the release of Angry. The cast went on a world press tour, which included the leading ladies of the film, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivaembracing the magic of fashion at every stop, from New York to London to Australia.

To build Angry fashionistas (and fans), designers—including Louis Vuitton, Vivienne Westwood, and Thom Browne—created looks that capture the essence of Grande and Evivo’s on-screen characters, Glinda and Elphaba.

Archival imagery with meaning was another way celebrities made headlines. Case in point: Sydney Sweeney attending the Oscars in the iconic film Mark Bauer a dress Angelina Jolie wore to the 2004 Academy Awards.

The tribute swept social media. Bauer, 65, celebrated the 20-year anniversary via Instagram, sharing images of Sweeney, 27, next to a photo of Jolie, 49. Sweeney shouted back, emphasizing the allure of the rare archival dress: “Thank you @marcbouwer for pulling this iconic dress out of storage for me. It was an honor to wear a piece of history.”

To that end, we’ve collected 10 looks from last year that will go down in red carpet history.
