Kim K to Selena Gomez: Glam or risky? Trendspotting at Academy Museum Gala 2024

The Annual Academy Museum Gala 2024’s red carpet witnessed a star-studded spectacular. From glamorous to risky NSFW looks, celebs like Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian and the Jenner sisters graced the event with their fashion showcase going all out in shimmer, sequins and bralettes. Here are some celebrity trends to bookmark from the recently concluded event.
Take a leaf out of Selena’s book where she effortlessly rocks the peekaboo bralette trend. Her ensemble features a fitted blue suede dress with a black bralette underneath. Her hair is elegantly gelled and she is wearing a statement silver bracelet, looking every bit the supermodel.
Kim Kardashian never shies away from dressing bold and risky. She opted for a white corset bustier with a pair of matching short shorts for her red carpet look, embodying an NSFW look. She finished off her ensemble with a long, flowing white jacket that featured ruched sleeves. She styled her hair in waves and went for sparkling metallic accessories and heels.
Sister duo, Kylie and Kendall Jenner opted for lingerie-inspired ensembles as seen on sister Kim K, as well. Kylie Jenner went with a daring look in a flesh-coloured, skintight bodysuit and a black skirt featuring a waist cutout detail. Kendall Jenner chose a sleek black halter neck dress with cutout panels at the bodice. Keeping the hair natural, both went for a minimal makeup look and accessories to retain the focus on their attire.
Inspired by a starry night, Jaden Smith opted for a top-to-bottom sequin studded black suit with satin wide-peak lapels. Underneath, he went for a striking white shirt that featured ruffles on the sleeves and collar, creating a contrasting look. His look was a refreshing take on menswear on the red carpet.
Kaia Gerber stunned everyone rocking a black shimmer sheer gown with a goth-inspired aesthetic, paying homage to the Old Hollywood. The sleeves feature tassels cascading to the neckline. Kaia went for minimal silver jewellery and styled her hair in a middle-parted half-updo. This look is a nod to Audrey Hepburn’s iconic look from the film, My Fair Lady in 1964.
Ella Hunt’s look was an interesting one on the red carpet she played with fabric texture, mixing and matching different themes. She went for a form-fitting strapless dark brown bustier top with eyelet detailing and a semi-sheer flowy nude skirt with sequins. The juxtaposition of a structured top with a flowy skirt also reflects the trend of merging femininity with bold and unexpected elements.
