From delicate appliqués to dramatic sheer overlays, lace dominated the red carpets in 2024. A fabric synonymous with timeless elegance and romance, lace received a modern twist this year, with celebrities reimagining it in bold, statement-making silhouettes for their red carpet appearances.
Whether on the red carpet of this year’s biggest award ceremonies or at premieres for the year’s film releases, lace was a favorite among Hollywood’s most stylish stars, all giving the fabric their own personal twist. Elizabeth Olsen and Hannah Waddingham set the tone at the Golden Globes, each donning intricate lace ensembles that showcased the fabric’s versatility and sophistication. Florence Pugh turned heads with an ethereal lace-adorned gown, while Emma Corrin and Aubrey Plaza opted for daring, avant-garde interpretations.
