Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Red Carpet Fashion: Standout Looks and Trends

Selena Gomez in Chanel

• Praised as the top red carpet look by both British and US Vogue, particularly significant as a "coup for Matthew’s Chanel" ([04:11]).
• The feathered organza dress took over 300 hours:

  "Apparently took over 300 hours to put them on the dress, which is a lot of labor." — Christian Allaire [04:33]

• Benny Blanco's jewelry (pendant and brooch) also noted, as were the many male stars embracing brooches.

Brooches for Men

• Seen especially on Coleman Domingo, who wore "all boucheron brooches" ([05:12]).
• "The men give them a run for their money. [...] I had at one point more men than women." — Christian Allaire [08:17]

Texture, Black, and White Themes

• Charli XCX (Saint Laurent) and Odessa A’zion (vintage Dolce) both highlighted for their textured/feathered looks.

  "She looked cool, effortless, and gorge. [...] She looked like herself, which I thought was fab." — Cho Minardi [06:22]

• Bright jewel tones, black and white, and red dominated the carpet, with tinges of mermaid and old Hollywood vibes ([07:15], [16:05]).

2. Memorable Red Carpet Moments

Wunmi Mosaku’s Pregnancy Reveal

• Chose yellow as a nod to Oshun, Yoruba goddess, symbolizing "Mother is golden" ([11:38]).

Teyana Taylor’s "Bejeweled Whale Tail" in Custom Schiaparelli

Trend Toward Safe Choices

• The panel lamented a lack of truly wild fashion, longing for the days of “Bjork and the Swan” and more risk-taking ([18:11]).

  "I do miss those moments [...] where it’s a kind of out-there ‘I just came with the clothes I had’ moment." — Cho Minardi

4. Comedic and Presenting Highlights

Nikki Glaser as Host

• Compared to a possible “Billy Crystal of the Golden Globes” ([20:03]).

Comedic Moments & Bits

• White Lotus “Property Brothers” joke, musical interruptions, and unique pairings added levity ([20:29], [20:50]).

5. Notable Style Shoutouts and Crew Acknowledgments
