Now that we’ve almost reached the end of 2018, it’s time to look back at some the year’s most stunning red carpet looks. And there were many.
Starting in January, we saw plenty of gorgeous looks at the Golden Globes, where most of the stars in attendance wore black in support of the Time’s Up campaign to fight sexual harassment and inequality. Then came the red purple carpet premiere of Marvel’s “Black Panther,” which was a beautiful celebration of African royalty.
At the Oscars in March, standouts included Tiffany Haddish, who arrived wearing a traditional Eritrean gown, and Nicole Kidman, who stunned in a structural blue Armani Privé dress.
In May, the Metropolitan Museum of Art hosted its annual Met Gala (in conjunction with The Costume Institute’s “Catholic Imagination” fashion exhibition), which saw Rihanna walk the red carpet looking like a bedazzled pope.
But those are just a few of the stunning looks we saw on red carpets this year. See them, and plenty more, below.
