Over the past month there have been three big award shows – the Grammys, Oscars, and Kids’ Choice Awards – and you know
that whenever there is a red carpet event, there will be fashion. While this year’s awards show attendees didn’t showcase as many eye-catching looks as in years past (in my opinion), there were still some diamonds in the rough.
Zendaya and her Dune co-star Timothee Chalamet definitely left their mark on the 2022
Oscars. Zendaya arrived in a cropped Valentino, button up, silk blouse paired with a long silver sequined skirt that trailed behind her. Alice Newbold from Vogue compared this look to an Oscar outfit worn by Sharon Stone 25 years ago. She wrote, “Zendaya’s micro Valentino haute couture button-up and silver sequined skirt drew comparisons to Sharon Stone’s 1998 Oscars get-up, which saw her famously rip up the rulebook in a men’s shirt tucked nonchalantly in a pearlescent satin skirt.” Timothee Chalamet also arrived in a cropped look. He went shirtless under a Louis Vuitton, black sequin, cropped blazer. Chalamet paired this with silver Cartier jewelry.
At the 2022 Grammys, we got to see two amazing female artists, Doja Cat and Olivia Rodrigo, win well-earned awards. Their outfits weren’t so bad either. Doja Cat had two looks for the night. Her first dress was an Atelier Versace light blue, sheer dress. She paired this dress with a y2k spiky blonde bob and a glass purse. Her second look was a sparkly nude dress with a plunge neckline and high leg slit. She wore this look to accept her award for best Pop Duo/Group Performance with Sza. Olivia Rodrigo also showed up in a captivating dress. She had on a Vivienne Westwood, optical-illusion dress. This dress was truly eye-catching with a slim cut and a low and tight neckline.
At the 2022 Kids’ Choice Awards, many younger influencers got to show off their rising fame and youthful fashion. One of those younger influencers was 17-year-old, overnight sensation, Charli D’amelio. Miss D’amelio received the Female Creator award in her David Koma Contrast Frame A-Line Dress. This dress costs $1,869.00, which apparently was money well spent seeing as how striking she looked. Charli paired her dress with some unreleased Jimmy Choo pumps. Another 17-year-old on the Nickelodeon-orange carpet that night was Jules Leblanc. Jules Leblanc recently re-branded herself by changing her nickname from Annie to Jules, with this name change she also changed her style. Her style lately has been very angelic/fairy-like and she gave us just that at the Kid’s Choice Awards. Jules showed up in a lacy sage green dress with a high leg slit and low neckline.
Throughout all three award shows, I’ve noticed quite a few trends such as low corset-like necklines and slimmer bodices. These trends aren’t as drastic as some in the past like 2016’s full lace pant suits or 2018’s obsession with yellow. This year’s trends were sweet and spicy, showcasing glitter, lace, and just the right amount of skin. In the future I hope everyone sticks to the same ideals as they did this year.
