Lady Gaga wore a custom blue ruffled Luar gown and red heels while performing at the 2026 Super Bowl LX halftime show in Santa Clara.
There’s no such thing as subtle when it comes to a Lady Gaga performance. Especially not at something like the Super Bowl LX halftime show , where the stakes are high, the crowd is massive, and you’ve got 13 minutes to make fashion history before the next whistle.
She did what she does best — took a risk, and made it look like muscle memory.
Onstage at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Gaga appeared in a custom powder blue Luar gown — sleeveless, sharply pleated, and tiered from the waist down in graphic-cut ruffles that screamed volume without being heavy. It was movement-ready, stage-built. You could tell the dress was designed to bounce with her hips.
The color: innocent. The silhouette: sharp. The styling: one twist at a time. Gaga paired the pastel softness with candy apple red heels , deliberate and loud — and somehow exactly the right contrast. You want clean harmony? Look elsewhere. This was disco-meets-teatro, and she sold it with intention.
Her signature platinum hair was waved and sculpted into retro bombshell glam. Mic in hand. Pose locked. Confidence dialed beyond what most red carpet gowns can handle.
And then — the detail that shouldn’t work but totally did — a bold corsage-style shoulder appliqué , half-flower, half-drama. It landed heavy on the look but not the moment.
Final note? Leave it to Gaga to deliver a fashion moment mid-performance that outdressed half the night.
Sydney Sweeney wore a vintage Cecil Chapman ivory dress and Ferragamo bow pumps at the 2026 Santa Barbara Film Festival Virtuosos Award.
Sydney Sweeney understood the assignment — and then she time-traveled. At the 2026 Santa Barbara Film Festival , where she was honored at the Virtuosos Award ceremony, she stepped onto the red carpet looking like she’d just walked out of the golden age of cinema.
Her look centered around a stunning vintage Cecil Chapman dress , ivory-toned and impossibly glamorous without needing a single embellishment. The silhouette followed her softly, with draped ruching across the bust and midsection that created shape without stiff structure. The off-the-shoulder detail dipped into a subtle sweetheart neckline, finished with just one small, high-shine brooch that felt more Old Hollywood than red carpet gimmick.
It works because it’s quiet. There’s no sparkle, no volume play, no drama for drama’s sake — just confident design and a fit that rests exactly where it should.
On her feet? Ferragamo bow-detail patent leather slingback pumps , cream-tinted and pointed, giving just enough heel without stealing energy from the dress. Accessories were minimal — just delicate studs and a soft side wave that gave light Grace Kelly if she were Gen Z energy.
This isn’t a “look at me, I’m trending” outfit. It’s a “don’t forget, I’m timeless” outfit. Which, frankly, is a lot harder to pull off.
Final verdict? She made vintage feel fresh — without overthinking it.
We’re seeing a lean back into quiet glamour — archival cuts, soft tones, and Hollywood heritage, worn by stars who don’t need the sparkle to shine
Would you go full vintage on the red carpet, or is that kind of restraint too steeped in nostalgia for your style?
Meghan Markle wore a custom Harbison strapless gown with a velvet cape and Stuart Weitzman heels to the 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala.
Meghan Markle doesn’t just dress for the moment — she understands the message. At the 2026 Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala held at Paramount Studios, she arrived in a look that was elegant without panic, structured without being overworked.
The custom Harbison Studio gown was built on precision: a strapless silhouette in soft dove pink, with a jet-black velvet trim that sharply cut across the neckline. Tailored clean through the hips, the dress held its shape without clinging, falling straight into a dramatic black velvet cape train — not attached, just draped over the arms like a living accessory. It moved in silence behind her, absorbing light instead of reflecting it.
On her feet? Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals in black suede — minimalist, barely there, exactly what the dress needed. Classic. Controlled. Visible just enough to sharpen the whole posture.
No glitz, no brand overload. Jewelry was minimal — her Cleave & Company diamond engagement ring and black drop earrings. Hair slicked back into a clean center-part bun. Makeup softly sculpted, nude-toned and exact.
As a celebrity look , this one worked because it respected its own space. Meghan didn’t fight for attention; she arrived with the calm of someone who already has it.
Final note: some dresses whisper money. This one whispers power.
