Chase Infiniti wore an Oscar de la Renta crochet-mesh dress and Zydo diamond loop earrings at the National Board of Review Gala 2026.
Chase Infiniti walks the National Board of Review Awards Gala carpet at Cipriani 42nd Street, New York City, 13 January 2026, offering a lesson in see-through serenity. The event appearance centers on an Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall 2026 dress–ivory crochet mesh clinging from scoop neck to fluted hem, peppered with chunky floral appliqués that drift down the torso like spilled cream. Matching pointed pumps keep the color story strict. Zydo Loop Earrings with flower, round, and pear-shape diamonds punctuate the look, their quiet sparkle catching flash bulbs. Though not visible here, brand notes confirm she carried an Oscar de la Renta Nano Pearl Embroidered O Handle Bag for the rest of the evening–a tactile echo of the gown’s texture. It is another entry in the endless archive of the modern celebrity red carpet ritual.
The dress flatters her frame without gimmick; open netting offers airflow and attitude in equal measure. Still, the floral appliqués read a bit front-loaded–weight clustered at bust and shin, leaving the midsection oddly sparse. A slim belt or even a second burst of blooms at the hip could have balanced things. Pumps score points for tone discipline but their pointed severity jars slightly against the dress’s handmade mood. By pairing artisanal crochet with diamond precision, Infiniti proves softness and structure can share the same dance floor without stepping on toes.
Does the bare-mesh trend still feel artisanal in ivory crochet, or has transparency lost its novelty on formal carpets?
Hannah Dodd wore a black Giambattista Valli cropped top and sculptural midi skirt at the Bridgerton Season 4 Paris premiere in 2026.
Hannah Dodd glides up the lilac-carpeted stairs at the world premiere of Bridgerton Season 4 in Paris on 14 January 2026, wrapped in Giambattista Valli Spring 2026 black-on-black texture. The look splits into two parts– a ruched, long-sleeve crop shirt with a prim collar and a ballooning midi skirt that floats just above the ankle . A flash of bare midriff slices the silhouette in half, turning what could have been period drama cosplay into something sharper. Point-toed pumps match the ink-dark fabric; a single ear cuff hooks behind loose, Versailles-worthy waves. Cameras click, eager to file another trophy shot for the celebrity red carpet archive.
Fashion right now keeps flirting with 18th-century romance–Bridgerton’s fault, mostly–but Dodd’s version feels refreshed. No corset, no florals, just puckered fabric, architectural volume, and a quiet dare: imagine Marie Antoinette with a Pilates membership. Awards-season maximalism pauses; restraint, suddenly, is drama.
Does flashing skin beneath courtly fabric modernize period mood boards, or does it simply trade mystery for midriff?
Rose Byrne wore a crystal-dotted tuxedo jacket over a sheer embellished blouse at the National Board of Review Awards Gala 2026.
For this event appearance , Rose Byrne steps onto the National Board of Review Awards Gala carpet at Cipriani 42nd Street, New York City, 13 January 2026. The look: a midnight-black tuxedo jacket peppered with pinhead crystals, satin peak lapels sharpening the line. Underneath, a nude mesh blouse printed with vertical dashes and anchored by a neat black bow-tie. Straight-cut velvet trousers pool slightly at the ankle, leading to pointed pumps with a sheer mid-foot panel. No necklace, minimal rings–her confidence does the accessorizing. The single nod to the wider conversation arrives here, via the ever-scrutinized celebrity red carpet ritual.
This tux skims the body–neither oversized nor pinched–letting the architectural shoulders carry the posture. The sheer blouse is riskier: its nude tone almost blends into skin, inviting a double take that activates the otherwise strict silhouette. One gripe: the trousers could lose a centimeter; pooling velvet dulls the jacket’s crisp geometry. Still, the interplay of transparency and polish feels intentional, a wink inside a bow-tie. By subtly twisting classic menswear codes, Byrne turns convention into conversation rather than costume.
Does the sheer blouse enliven the tux, or would a classic shirt have sharpened the power play even further?
