The evening’s fashion narrative moved from classical elegance to avant-garde innovation, with several artists pushing creative boundaries. Shifting from ethereal draping to structured sophistication, perennial musical sensation, Billie Eilish dressed in Prada and channeled her signature avant-garde style. Clothed in a striking black oversized jacket with relaxed navy trousers and a white shirt, the nine-time Grammy-winning artist accessorized with a distinctive silver chain and coordinating black lace-ups– seamlessly merging streetwear sensibilities with red carpet sophistication. In another noteworthy Prada moment, boundary-pushing artist Troye Sivan appeared in a periwinkle silk organza suit paired with a purple crepe de chine scarf, adding a touch of romanticism to his ensemble.

The red carpet’s edgier moments showcased how traditional eveningwear can be reimagined through modern materials and silhouettes. Miley Cyrus sent a palpable jolt through the red carpet wearing Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello in a daring leather dress with cutout details and architectural crosses at the bodice. Its floor-length silhouette maintained classic elegance while introducing modern elements through material choice and careful reveals. Also in Saint Laurent, Charlotte Lawrence captured ethereal drama in a flowing black silk cape design, while The Dare (Harrison Patrick Smith) opted for classic refinement in a dapper grain de poudre tuxedo.
