Naomi Watts channeled sculptural grace in a magenta Roland Mouret gown—equal parts retro romance and red carpet precision—at the 2010 Met Gala in New York.
There’s something about Naomi Watts that makes even the most theatrical fashion moments feel quietly powerful. At the 2010 Costume Institute Gala—held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City—Watts arrived in a look that whispered rather than shouted, yet still commanded the room.
Before the glitter and Grammys, Christina Aguilera hit the WKTU stage in leather pants and pop-star defiance—pure 1999 energy, no apologies, no auto-tune.
There’s something electric about watching a star before the world catches on. On September 12th, 1999, Christina Aguilera took the stage at WKTU 103.5 FM in New York City—just weeks after her debut single “Genie in a Bottle” had exploded onto the charts. The crowd? Hyped. The look? Unfiltered Y2K pop.
Sophia Hammons unveils a playful duality for Teen Vogue’s August issue, transitioning from relaxed prep to vibrant party chic (a pre-red carpet ritual, perhaps?).
There’s a delicious anticipation that hums just beneath the surface of a pre-event moment, a peek behind the curtain that Sophia Hammons graciously provides for Teen Vogue’s August 2025 feature. The first image captures her in a state of serene preparation, perched on a director’s chair—appropriately branded “Claridge’s,” hinting at a luxurious London backdrop—clad in a plush white robe. Her posture, a graceful turn towards the camera, exudes a quiet confidence. The soft lighting, presumably from a vanity mirror or carefully placed lamps, accentuates her luminous skin and the subtle flush on her cheeks, suggesting a fresh, natural makeup look. It’s a glimpse into the calm before the fashion storm, a moment of repose before the transformation.
