Chase Infiniti wore a light pink satin Louis Vuitton gown with Gianvito Rossi sandals at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards 2026.
Palm Springs Convention Center, January 3rd. The carpet lined with logos — Cadillac, Kering — the usual backdrop noise. Chase Infiniti stepped into that frame in a floor‑length gown, satin light pink, cowl neckline folding softly, hem flaring out just enough to catch the floor.
The dress read custom Louis Vuitton. Smooth, almost slippery fabric, reflecting light in a way that felt understated. Shoes weren’t the focus, but Gianvito Rossi’s Marlena sandals peeked out, slim straps against the pale tone of the gown.
It wasn’t a bombastic look. More pared down, almost quiet. The neckline draped, the color muted, the silhouette clean. Jewelry wasn’t obvious, no heavy sparkle. The emphasis stayed on fabric and cut.
The critic’s note: Infiniti’s choice leaned into restraint. A gown that didn’t shout, but whispered. Satin folds, soft pink, a cowl that framed rather than demanded.
Teyana Taylor wore a dramatic black Miss Sohee couture gown with sheer bodice and voluminous skirt at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards 2026.
Palm Springs Convention Center, January 3rd. The carpet lined with logos — Cadillac, Kering, the festival name stamped across the backdrop. Teyana Taylor stepped into that frame in a gown that didn’t whisper. It carried weight.
The dress, Miss Sohee Spring 2025 couture, black and glossy. The skirt wide, voluminous, almost ballooning out with shine. The bodice sheer, structured, lines visible, holding shape against the skin. It felt architectural, but not stiff. Shoes hidden, jewelry not obvious. The focus stayed on fabric and silhouette.
It wasn’t about sparkle or color. Just black, exaggerated in scale, softened by transparency at the top. The neckline cut sharp, shoulders bare, the whole look balanced between drama and restraint.
The critic’s note: Taylor’s choice leaned into couture’s extremes — volume below, structure above. A gown that made presence without needing embellishment.
Miley Cyrus wore a black Tom Ford suit with studded detailing and Messika rings at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards 2026.
Palm Springs, January 3rd. The carpet lined with logos — Cadillac, Kering, the festival itself stamped across the backdrop. Miley Cyrus stepped into that frame in a black suit, Tom Ford Resort 2026.
The jacket cut sharp, plunging neckline left open, inner top studded with small metallic points. Not glitter, more grit. Shoes pointed, black, clean. Rings visible — Messika pieces stacked, catching light when her hand shifted.
It wasn’t a gown moment. No sweeping fabric, no couture theatrics. Instead, a suit that felt deliberate, pared down, almost stubborn in its refusal to play the usual red carpet game.
The look carried weight in its simplicity. A reminder that tailoring can be its own kind of armor. The critic’s note: Cyrus chose structure over softness, jewelry over embellishment, presence over excess.
