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?
Emilia Clarke wore a cropped wool sweater with oversized fur collar and pinstripe pencil skirt to her TODAY show appearance in 2026.
Emilia Clarke strides across Rockefeller Plaza on 14 January 2026, on her way into the TODAY studio, turning a brisk sidewalk commute into textbook street style –the single nod we’ll allow, anchored here: celebrity street style . She layers a charcoal cropped sweater under a huge tawny-lavender fur collar that swallows her shoulders like a friendly wolf. Below, a high-waisted pinstripe pencil skirt hugs the hips, slit front and center for just enough swing. Black peep-toe pumps click against the concrete. Rectangular sunglasses, wind-tossed hair, a mini shoulder bag tucked under one arm; that’s the whole kit.
Office codes are wobbling. After years of hoodies and sneakers, tailoring is inching back–but with mischief. Clarke’s pinstripes preach meetings, her cropped knit and furry halo shout après-ski bar. The clash feels deliberate, a reminder that morning television still loves a little drama at 8 a.m.
Proportions land well: cropped top + sky-high waist = legs for blocks. The collar, though, hovers on the edge of costume; one gust and she’s swallowed. Pumps keep the look grounded, yet a closed-toe mule would have nodded to winter without flashing pedicure. By jamming boardroom pinstripes against plush wilderness, Clarke argues that work and play can share the same crosswalk without apologizing.
Does the massive collar elevate grey wool into statement territory, or drown the outfit in unnecessary fluff?
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?
