Marina Ruy Barbosa

Is chartreuse Marina Ruy Barbosa’s color? This fringe Gucci gown that she wore to The Shrouds premiere just a day after her show-stopping Miss Sohee moment seems to make the case. The lemon-lime shade here is similar to a tennis ball, which has us thinking back to Zendaya’s Challengers press tour.

Barbara Palvin has that model-esque je ne sais quoi, and she did what she does best at the Marcello Mio premiere in this ethereal pastel blue Givenchy gown, the flowiness of which matched her bouncy blowout.

23of 51

She opted for desert-tinged glamour in a strapless layered nude Dior gown, completing the look with sculptural silver Tiffany & Co. jewelry and a twisted updo hairstyle.

37of 51

Naomi Campbell

As one of the top supermodels of all time, Naomi Campbell is always a red carpet highlight, whether she goes for classic elegance or a more daring statement. Her Furiosa premiere gown—which stylist Law Roach pulled from Chanel’s fall 1997 couture collection, when Campbell had modeled it herself—leaned towards the latter thanks to its black sequins alternating with strips of sheer fabric, and the pearl dual straps added a touch of decadence to the look.
