1. Teyana Taylor: A Dazzling Vision in Red

Teyana Taylor, a Golden Globe-winning actress, made a grand entrance on the red carpet and stage at the 28th Costume Designers Guild Awards, where she received the Vanguard Spotlight Award. She looked breathtaking in a sleeveless red dress designed by the 44-year-old Australian designer Tamara Ralph, which she presented on the first day of Paris Fashion Week at Pavillon Cambon for her Haute Couture Spring/Summer 2026 ready-to-wear collection entitled “La Lumière Dorée” or The Golden Light. This collection was inspired by a dialogue between Eastern and Western cultures, highlighting architectural, origami-inspired folds and traditional Asian craftsmanship.

The gown had a glossy mother-of-pearl corset top with a halter neckline and lace-up accents at the back of the waist, as well as a floor-length silk skirt that flowed freely and draped beautifully about her, complete with a tiny train. Teyana Taylor elevated her look even further with the D’Accori “Belle” patent leather strappy platform shoes in a refined black licorice color, set on an astounding 150 mm hourglass platform heel.

This outfit showcased not just her fashion prowess but also her ability to command the red carpet with confidence and finesse.

2. Kate Hudson: Ethereal Elegance in Lilac

Kate Hudson also attended the 28th Annual Costume Designers Guild Awards, where singer-songwriter and rapper Janelle Monáe presented her with the Spotlight Award onstage. Accepting the honor, the Oscar-nominated star looked stunning in a one-of-a-kind lilac satin gown redesigned by creative director Alessandro Michele, inspired by Valentino Womenswear Spring/Summer 2026 collection, “Fireflies.”

The dress had a halter neck top with two magnificent tie bows cascading down one side and a flowing maxi skirt with gathering features in the front that created a wonderful ruching effect, transforming it into a work of art.
