Ariana Grande wore a vintage Vivienne Westwood pink lace corset and skirt ensemble with Irene Neuwirth diamond studs at the AFI Awards 2026.
At the AFI Awards in Los Angeles on January 9 2026, Ariana Grande stepped onto the carpet wrapped in soft nostalgia. The look — a pale blush Vivienne Westwood pink lace corset and skirt ensemble from the early 2000s — balanced delicacy with composure. The corset curved tight at the waist, a whisper of structure beneath translucent lace layered in uneven drapes. The skirt hung lighter, brushing her ankles with faint fraying at the hem, as if it carried memory.
She finished the look with Irene Neuwirth Large Gumball Studs and pointed nude heels that sharpened the softness. No gloves, no overt sparkle — just the plain intimacy of lace against skin. Her hair, pinned smoothly into a side part, left her face exposed, calm but alert under the camera light. The makeup hovered between elegance and restraint, rosy undertone, nearly bare eyelid.
It’s strange how timeless restraint feels rebellious now. Ariana Grande channels something quieter than fame — a whisper stitched in lace.
Emma Stone wore a white Calvin Klein strapless pleated dress with Repossi gold rings at the AFI Awards Luncheon in Los Angeles 2026.
At the AFI Awards Luncheon at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on January 9 2026, Emma Stone appeared in quiet perfection. Her look — a white Calvin Klein Collection Custom Dress — combined ease and geometry: strapless, sharply pleated, folded over the bust like origami softened by gravity. The skirt continued the pleats down to her ankles, interrupted only by a slim black belt that punctuated the silhouette with restraint.
Mia Goth wore a black Calvin Klein off-shoulder midi dress with Aquazzura sandals and retro Khaite x Oliver Peoples sunglasses at the AFI Awards 2026.
At the AFI Awards at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills on January 9 2026, Mia Goth arrived in a look that communicated calm precision. Her black Calvin Klein Collection Bonny Wool and Linen-Blend Midi Dress , cut off the shoulders with subtle structure through the bust, created an hourglass frame without overemphasis. The fabric, matte and dense, carried quiet weight against the red carpet light.
Paired with minimalist Aquazzura So Nude Sandals and angular Khaite x Oliver Peoples 1968C Sunglasses , the ensemble felt almost cinematic — a nod to mid-century ease reimagined in muted sharpness. Her hair, straight and sleek, was pulled back by a wide black headband. Makeup leaned toward porcelain: clean skin, pale pink lip, no excess shimmer. It was a look that didn’t perform but rather existed on steady terms with itself.
Some call this minimalism; others, discipline. Mia Goth wears restraint like a signature — one clean line, flawlessly uninterrupted.
