But then of course this is not Rita’s first rodeo…Īt the VF Oscars party Rita braved the world’s cameras in this sheer Donna Karan affair. Few women posess the minerals to step out in something like this. It has a tangle of tenuously knotted ropes holding it all together. But then this writer is not Diane Kruger. This writer shudders to think what sort of side-view she would present if she was asked to slip into this see-through Reem Acra number. Though that ‘step forward’ pose she’s doing appears to be extremely necessary as well as flattering. Luckily, her skin and body is great so she didn’t even need to run to a haberdashers before stepping out onto the red carpet at this year’s Grammys. Ciara at the 2016 GrammysĬiara’s Alexandre Vauthier gown appears to have been cut to ribbons. Then there are dresses you can’t really have any dinner in. There are dresses you can’t really have a big dinner in. Back in a more demure time ‘daring’ red carpet dresses would sweep low across the back or torso – now they’re very cut to show off the thighs too, which must make moving around without flashing anyone a carefully thought out business.

Rita swept into the Met Ball looking like a beautiful metallic bird of paradise. This is obviously not the first time we’ve seen more of Madonna than we bargained for, but it is possibly the first time we’ve seen her in an outfit inspired by the medical ‘kinesiology tape’ she uses to support her tired muscles on tour (we haven’t made that up by the way, that was the inspiration). The sort of dress about 0.000001% of the population could pull off. It’s hard to know where this Versace dress ends and Kendall begins, but we love the colour and all that white spaghetti junction detailing. Very few women could pull a dress like this off, but even fewer – when they realise they’re accidentally flashing the ranks of cameras – would deliver a comedy ‘whoopsy!’ and side-step their way across the step-and-repeat like a cat burglar.

In general we just really like what Chrissy Teigen is about (see her best moments on Twitter for more details). See how the two dresses also subtly mirror each other in style? These ladies are Kardashians so that’s clearly not an accident – e.g point b).

In this case they’ve both taken an ‘ordinary’ red carpet dress and lopped a big old portion out if it – in Khloe’s case a ‘dress’ that tapers in around the legs and waist, in Kourtney’s one that appears to have been snipped out over the thighs. The Kardashian’s are, of course, past masters at both a) strategic red carpet body reveals and b) theming their wardrobes. And why decide when clearly you can wear both at once? Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian at a fundraiser in New York Maybe Gabrielle couldn’t decide whether to pitch up to the Oscars after-party in a long black dress or a bandeau bikini.
