The Latest Red Carpet Trend? Fear of Color

If there’s one thing the latest red carpets have in common, it surely isn’t the red, but it might just be the lack of color on them. A black gown here, a nude dress there, a respectable amount of white somewhere in between, and somehow less ended up being more once again. Good thing it’s been a premiere-heavy few weeks, because at least we have plenty of evidence that the best looks are currently on mute.

Demie made an entrance at the Euphoria season 3 premiere in a floor-sweeping, two-tone black and silver gown with sharp diagonal striping. Her hair nodded subtly to the dress’s 80s feel, while her makeup stayed minimal, pretty much nonexistent, in a fresh, intentional way.

The star of the series stepped out that night in a black Ashi Studio gown. Halter neck, bare back, and dramatic floor-length silhouette, paired with Chopard jewelry, smoky makeup, and a wet bixie. And now that Zendaya has worn it, consider the dress retired, I don’t think anyone else will dare.

CinemaCon saw Zendaya take the desert theme a little too personally. The actress and her stylist, Law Roach, opted for a structured nude skirt suit from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2026 collection, “The Sphynx.” Molded hips, an alarming amount of jersey and toile layering, and nude pumps to finish it off.

At the Tiffany & Co. Blue Book, Kruger put on a Sabina Bilenko gown from the Spring 2026 Couture collection. And it had everything on it, seashells, peacocks, architecture, palm trees, and what, from afar, looked like fringes. Up close, they turned out to be tiny strands of sparkle, catching the light just like the rest.

The artist showed up at the New York screening of Mother Mary in Ashi Studio Spring 2026 Couture. She chose a stiff vintage-cream corset jacket with a peplum-like shape, a sheer bra underneath, and a skirt that looks like it’s been through enough already. Finished with metallic accents and sky-high black platforms.
