A New Generation Changes the Oscar Red Carpet Rules
A new generation of actors, actresses, and designers are changing the rules of red carpet fashion. There were a few firsts this year on the red carpet: Zendaya wore an under-bust white cotton shirt with a silver sequin skirt and Sharon Stone wore white Gap shirt with a Vera Wang skirt. Meanwhile, Kristen Stewart wore Chanel hot pants and a black tuxedo jacket, and she traded her black pumps for black loafers. She also wore a neon yellow Carolina Herrera mini, a black leather jacket, and black loafers.
Before the Oscar code, there were movements to alter the meaning and perception of the red carpet. The original purpose of the red carpet was to market a brand or product. The Oscar red carpet’s new era was created to communicate excitement and be a badass around the world.
In the era of social media and the emergence of the Internet, Hollywood brands have been able to take advantage of the red carpet to sell their products. The Oscars have become a major marketing platform in the film industry. Yet, this event has seen its ratings take a massive dive since 2014, and a new generation may be able to bring the audience back.
Kristen Stewart was another red carpet newcomer who broke the rules. The actress was the first to walk the red carpet together with a partner of the same sex. The actress’ stylist had suggested she wear a white shirt and black shorts.
Not only were there newcomers, but many celebrities wore new interpretations of classic red carpet looks. Several supporting actresses also changed the rules of Oscar red-carpet fashion, in addition to Jessica Chastain & Olivia Colman. Among them were Kirsten Dunst and Ariana DeBose, who both wore lipstick-red Christian Lacroix gowns.
Other notable newcomers were Timothee Chalamet and Kim Kardashian. Both stars wore a Louis Vuitton lace jacket with embroidered lace that dispelled gender stereotypes. In addition to these celebrities, there was also a shirtless man.
The rules of the red carpet have been changed by a new generation of designers. Naomi Watts and Renee Zellweger each wore dresses by European megabrands, and Kristen Stewart rocked a white shirt and a pair of sky-high pumps. These designers revolutionized the fashion industry and the red carpet.
