When 2022 ended, we assessed our mental health, reflected on the tasks we've accomplished, and, for fun, recalled some of the year’s most memorable fashion moments. After all, 365 orbits of the sun equal at least 365 stunning celebrity ensembles. Now that we’re nearly reaching a quarter of 2023, it's time to thoroughly appreciate the various styles and perhaps even take some cues from them.
Celebrities have a tremendous impact on American fashion, whether they are on the red carpet, in a movie, or on stage. Fashions like Marilyn Monroe's renowned white dress from "The Seven Year Itch" have become cultural touchstones that symbolize the time period's art throughout the history of Entertainment.
We’ve gathered 16 iconic celebrity outfits that we can find. From Lady Gaga's contentious meat dress, which was predictably made up entirely of chunks of meat, to Jennifer Lopez's gorgeous green dress, which she wore to the 42nd annual Grammy Awards in 2000, iconic celebrity dresses span the spectrum. Read on to know the rest.
During Milan Fashion Week in 2019, Lopez donned an upgraded version of the Versace outfit since she adored it so much. She maintains her youthful appearance.
The tiny black dress was made popular by Hepburn's appearance and would later come to dominate women's fashion for many years. In addition, she contributed to the popularity of wide-lens black sunglasses and the chignon hairdo. truly legendary.
The ensemble was chosen from Nicolas Ghesquière's spring 2022 womenswear collection, demonstrating that gender is not a factor in Chalamet's sense of style. But, Chalamet did add a small touch by wearing the dress with a pair of black ankle boots and silver jewelry.
Gaga clarified that the garment was more than simply a marketing gimmick and stood up for one's rights. During the awards ceremony, Gaga spoke with Ellen Degeneres and stated, “If we don’t stand up for what we believe in and if we don’t fight for our rights, pretty soon we’re going to have as many rights as the meat on our bones.”
Despite the good intentions, animal advocates weren't in favor of the outfit, which has been preserved and is now housed in Cleveland, Ohio's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The dress, created by Macedonian designer Marjan Pejoski, received harsh criticism when it was first worn, but more than 20 years later, it is now regarded as a daring fashion statement and an absolutely classic ensemble. Björk was perplexed by the response she received while wearing the garment. “They wrote about it like I was trying to wear a black Armani and got it wrong like I was trying to fit in,” she told The New York Times in a 2007 interview. “Of course, I wasn’t trying to fit in.”
“I fought against it. I was like, I don’t know how I could wear the mask. Why would I want to cover my face?” Kim Kardashian told Vogue. “But Demna [creative director at Balenciaga] and the team were like, ‘This is a costume gala. This is not a Vanity Fair party where everyone looks beautiful. There’s a theme and you have to wear the mask. That is the look.'” Mission accomplished.
The outfit was made famous by Monroe's appearance in a scene where she stands over a subway grate and says, “Ooh, do you feel the breeze from the subway?” when the garment is blown up, revealing her naked legs. These days, it might not seem all that thrilling, but when the movie was released in the 1950s, seeing a woman's legs was considered scandalous. Despite this, the film was a huge success, establishing Marilyn Monroe as a leading lady, and giving pop culture one of its most memorable moments.
One example is the hot pink cowboy costume he wore to the 2020 Grammys. The bright pink boots and cowboy hat that came with the Versace suit were also included. When discussing the attire selection with CR Men in 2020, X commented, “I’ve been trying to deviate from the norm that most guys wear – suit, tie … So when I saw the [Grammys] look, even as a sketch, I was like, That’s crazy. That’s a talking point. I want to get more in tune with that flamboyant side as well. It’s an ongoing journey.”
The ivory silk taffeta garment included 10,000 pearls, lace, sequins, and hand needlework, and was believed to be worth $186,000 at the time. Also, it included the 25-foot-long royal wedding train, which was the longest in history.
Nonetheless, McGowan told Jameela Jamil for her I Weigh interview series that she doesn't regret wearing the garment. “I [wore] that for a reason. It was my first public appearance after being raped. And I thought, it was kind of like Russell Crowe and Gladiator when it comes out in the ring and he’s like, ‘Are you not entertained?’ And that was why I did that. That was my response to being assaulted.”
