Anyone who has expected a dress to transform them into Cinderella or a silk tie into Tom Ford knows that you can ask too much of fashion. Forafter an 18-month absence, models, designers, actors and activists struggled to find answers to the question of what is American style on the red carpet.
As the youngest ever co-host of the event, singer Billie Eilish, 19, continued her public fashion evolution from moody teen to platinum-pin up in a fairytale Oscar de la Renta confection inspired by Monroe’s 1951 Oscars gown.Getty “I’ve always wanted to do this but I was just scared and I didn’t feel comfortable in my skin and I feel like I finally did,” Eilish said. “I feel like I’ve grown so much in the last few years.”A similar retreat to the safety of satin and sparkle, rather than pushing boundaries, was staged by Cindy Crawford’s supermodel daughter Kaia Gerber and actress Rose Leslie, both in Oscar de la Renta, along with“I’m giving very much Megan Monroe,” Stallion, wearing a baby pink dress from Coach, said.
Joining Kardashian with the stunt approach were those seeking to achieve the same legendary meme status as Rihanna’s 2015 Met Gala dress by Guo Pei. Singer Frank Ocean inexplicably nursed a robot doll, veteran model Iman dressed like two crop circles in a sea of gold, while singer Grimes in Iris van Herpen carried a sword made from melted firearms.
