Sabrina threw on a pastel yellow Christian Dior dress from the collection’s debut - talk about being ahead of the curve! She showed up to the Dior Cruise 2027 event rocking a mix of see-through bits and flower power, paired with cute pastel yellow heels and a matching bag. Critics? They thought the dress kind of swallowed her tiny frame. Oops!
Kourtney Kardashian’s Bump-Friendly Biker Look
Kourtney showed off her baby bump in a bold cobalt-blue leather biker jacket with a matching mini skirt straight from LaQuan Smith’s Fall/Winter collection. She went for silver heels and a messy bun to keep it chill. Some folks loved how motherhood got a glam makeover; others thought she could’ve done better with styling. Either way, it was a statement!
Anne Hathaway’s Shimmer & Sheer Wonder
Anne hit the NYC premiere of 'Mother Mary' in a dreamy, shiny dress that looked part art, part magic. It played with see-through layers and a fun mix of flowing and structured vibes. Silver shoes and fancy jewelry finished the look, and people fell hard for this artsy number.
Lizzo’s Extra... and Then Some
Lizzo took the Cannes carpet by storm in a royal blue gown with some wild fake metallic 'hands' on the sleeves. With sparkly gloves and a jewel-encrusted necklace that looked like a piercing (wait, what?), the look screamed drama. Netizens were divided: “Too much or just enough?” Hair and makeup got called out too. Fashion whiplash!
Zendaya’s Vintage Dior Elegance
Zendaya loves a good throwback, and this time she brought out a stunning 1998 Dior dress from the archives. Skipping the gloves and purse, she showed off simple glam with painted nails. Fans called her the best dressed ever - go Zendaya!
Kim Kardashian’s Classy Dior Moment
Kim showed up in a butter-yellow Dior dress from 1997, which looked like a sophisticated cheongsam with a thigh-high slit. She accessorized with gladiator heels and a tiny silver handbag. Some liked the class vibe; others thought her shoes and purse didn’t quite mix right. Close, but no cigar!
Vittoria Ceretti’s Floral & Fierce
Model Vittoria rocked a sheer black Chanel evening gown with giant flower prints at a fancy pre-Met Gala party. Black waves and a million-dollar necklace gave off major Hollywood vibes. The look was a hit, with fans calling it enchanting and sublime. Flower power for the win!
Millie Bobby Brown’s Jacket Mix-Up
Millie showed up in a crisp white dress with a corset and skirt combo - simple, right? But then she added a green cropped jacket that some thought brought back 90’s vibes... for better or worse. Fans agreed: dress and jacket don’t play nice together. Styling fail or 90s throwback? You decide.
Meryl Streep’s Red Leather Drama
Meryl brought major boss energy in a bright red leather cape with a huge bow to the 'Devil Wears Prada 2' premiere - so fitting! Black gloves, sharp shoes, and shades finished off the look. The internet loved her all-out drama vibes. Meryl owning it like a pro.
Diane Kruger’s Subtle Yellow Glow
Diane dazzled at Cannes in a pale yellow Givenchy dress with floral embroidery and a big green bow cape. She ditched the funky boots from the runway and went with sandals for a softer touch. Some said the boots would’ve been too much; others thought they could’ve spiced up the look. Green with envy? Maybe!
Ruth Negga’s Lace Remix
Ruth took a Saint Laurent lace babydoll dress and gave it extra length with a black skirt - talk about a remix! Emerald earrings made a bold statement too. But some fans thought the added skirt made her look a bit off balance. Sometimes less is more!
Heidi Klum’s Peachy Letdown
Heidi strutted the Cannes carpet in a strapless peach Elie Saab gown with a giant flower and a flowing train. She skipped the runway’s choker and matched with simple jewelry and open-toe heels. But fans? Not impressed. They called the fit weird and the color meh on her. Fashion swing and a miss.
Ruth Wilson’s 'Slipped On & Ran Out' Look
For Cannes, Ruth grabbed a Dior jacquard dress with flowers and fringe and kept it simple - no veil, no clutch, just black heels. Critics felt she needed more bling or pizazz to match the runway’s drama. Basically, it looked cool but kinda like she threw it on last minute. Oops.
Ashley Graham’s Second Skin
Ashley teamed up with Di Petsa to rock a reptile-scale-inspired beige mesh gown at the Met Gala. The dress was kinda like a second skin, hand-sewn in real time - fancy! She topped it with sleek hair and silver chrome-dipped hands accessories. Some wished she added more jewelry to amp it up, but hey, less can be more.
Julia Fox’s Bow-tastic Drama
Julia showed up at an art fest wrapped in layered bows and sashes from Viktor&Rolf’s royal-inspired collection. No crown this time, just minimal jewelry and minty heels. Fans either loved the campy magic or found it a bit over the top. One thing’s for sure: Julia looks like she totally lost a bet with the fashion gods but still won. Props!
Keke Palmer’s Sparkly Mess
Keke rocked a sheer, chain-covered disco mini dress at the Billboard Women in Music event. Rhinestones everywhere, with visible boning mixing up the sparkle vibes. Styling got mixed reviews - some thought the boning ruined the flow; others said it looked like beads got tossed and glued randomly. Fashion rollercoaster!
Theodora’s Fairy Tale Moment
Theodora channeled her inner fairy in a Vivienne Westwood ivory corseted gown with layers of organza, tulle, and sparkles. She threw on some chunky jewelry and plaid platform shoes for a quirky twist. Fans called her a tinkerbell fairy - dreamy vibes all the way!
Florence Pugh’s 'Did She Lose a Bet?' Dress
Florence hit Netflix Upfront in a white Simone Rocha dress with puffy sleeves and a poppy flower down the front. Sparkly earrings completed the look. Fans? They thought the dress was awkward and not flattering. The consensus: it wasn’t Florence's fault, just a not-so-great design sometimes even makes the best look meh.
Madison Bailey’s Patchwork Remix
Madison made a splash by switching up an Etro chiffon dress into a top, pairing it with wide-legged jeans and maroon heels. The colorful layers and casual jeans combo got thumbs up for cute and fun vibes. Who says you can't remix the runway?
Eve’s Neon Versace Flashback
Eve rocked a wild Versace corset and bright blue skirt at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards - neon, safety pins, and all! The colorful look made some think it looked a bit cheap, but hey, it was the 2000s, baby. Oh, and don't forget, Bey made her own iconic Versace debut that night, stealing some spotlight.
