Maddie Ziegler wore a draped champagne silk gown with a deep plunge and ruched waist at the 2026 WWD Style Awards in Santa Monica.

At the 2026 WWD Style Awards in Santa Monica on January 9 2026, Maddie Ziegler stepped onto the red carpet in a gown that looked poured on rather than worn. The fabric — silky champagne, soft under the light — crossed at the chest and plunged low before knotting at the waist into a waterfall of folds that grazed the floor. It had the undone ease of something ancient and modern at the same time.

At the 2026 WWD Style Awards in Santa Monica on January 9 2026, Anna Cathcart arrived in a gown that balanced polish and ease. The dress — soft midnight velvet with a subtle gleam — skimmed the body rather than sculpting it. A draped cowl neckline added natural movement, catching the flash with quiet texture. Nothing oversized, nothing loud. Just fabric behaving exactly the way velvet should.

Padma Lakshmi wore a white sleeveless midi dress with a deep plunge neckline at The Road to the Golden Globes event in Toronto 2025.

At The Road to the Golden Globes event during TIFF 2025 in Toronto, Padma Lakshmi walked the red carpet in a clean, figure-skimming white midi dress. The silhouette was direct — sleeveless, sharply cut at the shoulders, with a plunging neckline anchored by a structured collar band. Minimal texture, no frills, almost architectural in the way it framed her shape.

She kept details restrained: nude sandals with thin straps, a wrist stack of gold bangles, hair worn down in a smooth fall over her shoulders. Skin luminous, makeup balanced — warm tones, gloss caught under the event lights. The entire look carried the ease of someone who knows that presence can outshine ornament.

It’s the kind of red carpet fashion moment that shows confidence through clarity. Padma brings silence to the noise — proof that simplicity still turns heads.
