These Are the Best Red Carpet Looks of 2018—Hands Down

Why do we watch award shows? To see the red carpet. Why do we check PureWow the night after movie premieres? To see the red carpet. Ogling ultra-glam outfits is one of our favorite things, and 2018 gave us plenty of opportunities to do so.

In no particular order, here are our 11 favorite red-carpet looks from the past 12 months.
Kendall Jenner in Schiaparelli

The model bared it all (but in an elegant way) on the red carpet at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival in this see-through Schiaparelli gown.

Gigi Hadid in Versace

The model wore a Versace creation reminiscent of stained glass to the 2018 Met Gala on May 7.

Rihanna in Maison Margiela

Rihanna dressed like the pope at the 2018 Met Gala. Her three-piece jewel-encrusted outfit was from Maison Margiela.

Angelina Jolie in Ralph & Russo

On January 11, Angelina attended the 23rd Annual Critics’ Choice Awards. She wore a Ralph & Russo dress (with a fun, feathery bodice), Stuart Weitzman shoes, and Neil Lane jewelry.

Blake Lively in Versace

Blake stunned in her Versace dress for the 2018 Met Gala on May 7. She even had a hidden message in her outfit.
