Fashion designer and TV personality Jenna Lyons and HauteLeMode style critic Luke Meagher recently shared their insights on the standout red carpet looks from the Oscars 2024 in a video for The Hollywood Reporter’s Red Carpet Roundup.
During their discussion, Lyons highlighted the strategic approach stylists take when dressing celebrities from the same movie, emphasizing the importance of creating a cohesive narrative around the film. She used the example of Margot Robbie and America Ferrera, noting how Robbie's consistent pink ensembles during the Barbie press tour contrasted with Ferrera's predominantly black looks, culminating in Ferrera's stunning pink Versace chainmail dress at the Oscars.
Zendaya, known for her impeccable red carpet style, impressed both Lyons and Meagher with her Giorgio Armani Privé gown featuring a unique palm tree print. Lily Gladstone, a best actress nominee for her role in 'Killers of the Flower Moon,' caught their attention with a striking Gucci dress created in collaboration with porcupine quillwork artist Joe Big Mountain.
The duo also discussed the groundbreaking nature of designer collaborations, particularly highlighting the significance of luxury houses like Gucci working with traditional artisans for red carpet creations. Meagher pointed out the rarity of such partnerships in the fashion industry, noting that designers typically prefer celebrities to wear their designs exclusively.
While Lyons and Meagher mostly agreed on their favorite looks, they had differing opinions on Emily Blunt's Schiaparelli ensemble, particularly focusing on the unique shoulder straps that sparked debate between the two fashion experts.
Lyons, known for her tenure at J. Crew and subsequent roles in media and fashion, brings a wealth of industry experience to her commentary. Meagher, recognized for his influential digital fashion content and recent representation by UTA, continues to push boundaries in the realm of fashion criticism.
