Another Golden Globe Awards show is behind us, and it brought many show-stopping red carpet trends our way. From ravishing red looks to dazzling metallic gowns, we’re bringing you five red carpet trends that this year’s ceremony will be remembered by.

Paint the Town Red

If we had to pick a single color ruling the Golden Globe red carpet this year, red would take the cake. Florence Pugh, Selena Gomez, Heidi Klum, and Ayo Edebiri were only some of the stars to give it their seal of approval.

Make it Shine

Stars attending the Golden Globes were shining brighter than ever in their dazzling gowns. Elizabeth Debicki, Natalie Portman, and Julia Garner hit the red carpet in shimmering dresses, while Taylor Swift put a green twist on this trend.

Think Pink

Margot Robbie’s obsession with the color pink isn’t fading away, and she was joined by several more stars embracing the Barbiecore craze, including Jennifer Lopez and Hailee Steinfeld.

White Winter

White gowns were having a moment at this year’s Golden Globes, and we’ve seen everyone from Elle Fanning to Gillian Anderson wear them, but Natasha Lyonne’s haute couture Schiaparelli gown was definitely our favorite.

Strapless Gowns

Many stars in attendance hit the red carpet in glamorous strapless gowns, including Jennifer Lopez, Allison Williams, Cailee Spaeny, Gillian Anderson, and Elle Fanning, among others.

“Girl dinner” emerged as one of TikTok’s biggest food trends this year, and it’s all about enjoying some of your favorite comfort snacks late in the evening. The trend immediately caused concern, with many dieticians feeling it’s not nutritious enough, but there are ways to make your “girl dinner” much healthier.

Perfect Balance

The best way to create a healthy and nutritious “girl dinner” is to find the perfect balance between the ingredients you’re going to use. Make sure your dinner contains lean protein, carbs, healthy fat, and fresh fruits and vegetables that will keep you fed and energized late in the evening.

Calorie Count

One of the first TikTok users to slam girl dinner is @siennabeluga, with her viral comment “some of these ‘girl dinners’ look a little suspiciously low cal to me.” Experts noticed that her heart is in the right place, since it’s best to try eating around 500 calories when putting together your “girl dinner” plate, while most viral videos contain much less.

Portion Control

The main concern with “girl dinner” is that it’s too restrictive, but it’s also pretty easy to go overboard. Portion control is key even when it comes to this trend, especially if your “girl dinner” includes sugary sweets and greasy snacks that aren’t that healthy.

Cowboy Copper hair is the fusion of leather tones, hence, ‘cowboy’ with classic redhead shades. It delves slightly deeper into brunette undertones whilst being infused with the richness of deep copper accents. The hashtag #cowboycopperhair racks up a cool 4.7 million views on TikTok. But before you saddle up for this trend, let’s talk about how to make Cowboy Copper Hair work harmoniously with your unique skin tone.

Fair Skin with Warm Undertones

The fiery hue complements your complexion beautifully, creating a harmonious balance. To enhance the warmth, opt for a shade with more orange undertones, like a sunset copper.

Medium Skin with Neutral Undertones

Cowboy Copper Hair can give medium skin with neutral undertones a sun-kissed radiance. Go for a shade that leans towards auburn or reddish-brown.

Olive or Tan Skin with Warm Undertones

Aim for a deeper copper hue, perhaps with a hint of chestnut. This pairing adds depth and richness to your hair, emphasizing your natural warmth.

Dark Skin with Cool Undertones

Opt for a cooler, burgundy-infused copper. This creates a dynamic contrast that accentuates your natural coolness while adding an unexpected twist to your overall look.

Dark Skin with Warm Undertones

Go for a rich, fiery copper with red undertones. This combination enhances your warm undertones, creating a stunning visual effect.

Porcelain or Very Fair Skin with Cool Undertones

Opt for a copper shade with a touch of burgundy to create a captivating visual dynamic.

Over the past year, nail trends have been good enough to eat. Hailey Bieber got us obsessed with glazed donut nails and it just escalated from there. Milkshake nails took over for a bit, but now we’ve moved on to syrup. 

The Western world is fairly late to the syrup trend as it is popular in Korea, having originated in Japan way back in 2015. The look is for anyone who prefers a neutral type manicure, but wants to jazz it up a bit with an ombré effect. Here’s how to do it at home.

Step #1

Apply a base coat to your nails and add a tip to the end in the color of your choice, as you would if you were doing a French manicure. Don’t worry if it isn’t even as it will blend out with the next few layers. 

Step #2

Syrup nails work best with light colors that have a sheer finish, so stick to nudes and neutrals as the gradient effect won’t be noticeable with bold hues. Once the first layer is dry, apply two to three more. The trick is to always start a little lower each time so that the color builds up by the tip, but remains sheer near the cuticle.

Step #3

Once you’re happy with how it looks, apply a top coat. This should give your nails that glossy syrup effect.

If you love anime and makeup in equal measure, ColourPop Cosmetics is about to become your new favorite brand. They launched many pop culture-themed makeup collections over the years, and some of their latest drops pay homage to our all-time favorite anime series.

Naruto

Naruto is one of the most beloved anime of all time, and ColourPop Cosmetics’ latest collection puts it front and center. The color palette is inspired by the signature shades of its main characters—Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke—and you’ll find everything from pressed power palettes to gel liners and glitter gels in this brand-new makeup drop.

Sailor Moon

ColourPop’s anime-themed collections have been going stronger than ever this year, but they’re nothing new. They kick-started this trend with their Sailor Moon line in 2020, featuring shadow palettes, blushes, and flip kits, and they became such a huge hit that they ended up restocking this collection.

The Legend of Korra

ColourPop created a lot of buzz with their Naruto makeup line, but this isn’t their first anime-themed collection of 2023. Back in March, they surprised The Legend of Korra fans with a wide range of amazing products, including liquid shadow sets, lip crèmes, and shadow palettes in earthy tones.

Flick through any fashion magazine or influencer’s Instagram, and the phrase ‘quiet luxury’ is likely to pop up. In case it’s passed you by, this trend attempts to imitate the styling choices of the uber-rich, those who are so wealthy they don’t need monogrammed baggage or flashy watches to shout to the world about their money. Instead, their style whispers their wealth, and those in the know will recognize that their apparently casual styling choices have cost many thousands of dollars.

Now, ordinary (or not super-wealthy) people are trying to copy the look. Often, this involves choosing neutral shades such as beige, cream, or camel, and combining clean-cut items with simple, classic jewelry looks. The women and men who choose to dress in this style often look fantastic and incredibly chic.

Should We Be Aiming for Quiet Luxury?

Yet some are questioning whether this trend should be promoted by brands, magazines, and influential individuals. There are concerns that quiet luxury in its true form will forever be out of reach for the masses. No matter how chic you look, when your outfit has cost less than a hundred dollars, you will never be accepted into the uber-wealthy club. Additionally, the women who are intent on copying Gwyneth Paltrow’s courtroom cashmere are fuelling the fast fashion nightmare as high-street brands churn out more affordable versions.

No Individuality

There is another, perhaps less serious, problem – and it’s that as a trend, quiet luxury doesn’t really allow individuals to experiment or express themselves. Whilst everyone may style the pieces differently, the pieces themselves are awfully similar – cropped cream jumpers, chocolate brown trousers, low-heeled shoes, and fine gold chains.

There is nothing wrong with any of these items separately, but when combined together it creates an instantly recognizable look which doesn’t really allow the wearer to say anything about themselves. Sometimes, this is what we want from clothes. We want to look chic and respectable and fit into any setting seamlessly. But sometimes, we want our clothes to speak up for us, to help us make our voices heard. We want to express our individuality through color, pattern, texture, and unexpected jewelry additions.

The Bottom Line

The quiet luxury look seems like it’s here to stay, but is room for more creative styling to flourish alongside it. Tap into the quiet luxury trend if you like, but don’t forget to express yourself.

Fashion in 2023 has mostly been modeled on trends from the ‘90s, but this trend is throwing things back a little further and we’re totally here for it!

If you idolized the looks of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, you will be pleased to know that pearls are very much on the current style scene. As a symbol of elegance, pearls have never really gone out of style, but at the moment they are back in a big way.

Earrings

If you want to jump on the pearl wagon but are afraid of going all in, earrings a good place to start. You can wear a pair of statement earrings dripping in pearls, or pop in some little studs to add a little glam to your look.

Headband

Embrace the preppy vibe by using a pearl headband to complete your outfit. They look good on every hair length and texture, and have the added advantage of keeping your hair off your face and out of your eyes.

Clothing

Thought pearls were reserved for jewelry? Wrong! Create the perfect brunch look by pairing a pearl-studded cardigan with jeans and sneakers; or upgrade a basic T-shirt with some pearl-embellished jeans or flats.

Method acting is old news, and our favorite stars are going the extra mile to fully embody their characters. Method dressing is experiencing a huge boom in Hollywood, and we’re seeing an increasing number of A-listers dressing in character while promoting their new movies.

Halle Bailey

Halle Bailey gave a masterclass in method dressing while doing the promo for The Little Mermaid. She fully embraced the mermaidcore trend by rocking ocean-inspired colors, shell-shaped details, pearls, and shimmering, iridescent fabrics.

Jenna Ortega

Jenna Ortega is definitely the queen of method dressing, and it’s sometimes tough to tell the difference between her and Wednesday Addams because she fully embraced the soft goth aesthetic after playing this character.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Anya Taylor-Joy didn’t attend too many events during the promo tour for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but she made sure to dress accordingly for its world premiere. She channeled her inner Princess Peach in a pink leather jumpsuit by Dior.

Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie has yet to start an actual promo for her upcoming movie Barbie, but if her CinemaCon outfit is an indication of anything, it’s going to be one wild, pink-colored ride.

Three Drink Theory

The viral “three drink” theory proposes a concept of indulging in three drinks at once to achieve the pinnacle of luxury. This combo should include one drink for hydration, one for energy, and one for enjoyment, and TikTok users have shared many interesting combos.

Protein Lemonade

ColourPop created a lot of buzz with their Naruto makeup line, but this isn’t their first anime-themed collection of 2023. Back in March, they surprised The Legend of Korra fans with a wide range of amazing products, including liquid shadow sets, lip crèmes, and shadow palettes in earthy tones.

Flick through any fashion magazine or influencer’s Instagram, and the phrase ‘quiet luxury’ is likely to pop up. In case it’s passed you by, this trend attempts to imitate the styling choices of the uber-rich, those who are so wealthy they don’t need monogrammed baggage or flashy watches to shout to the world about their money. Instead, their style whispers their wealth, and those in the know will recognize that their apparently casual styling choices have cost many thousands of dollars.

Now, ordinary (or not super-wealthy) people are trying to copy the look. Often, this involves choosing neutral shades such as beige, cream, or camel, and combining clean-cut items with simple, classic jewelry looks. The women and men who choose to dress in this style often look fantastic and incredibly chic.

Should We Be Aiming for Quiet Luxury?

Yet some are questioning whether this trend should be promoted by brands, magazines, and influential individuals. There are concerns that quiet luxury in its true form will forever be out of reach for the masses. No matter how chic you look, when your outfit has cost less than a hundred dollars, you will never be accepted into the uber-wealthy club. Additionally, the women who are intent on copying Gwyneth Paltrow’s courtroom cashmere are fuelling the fast fashion nightmare as high-street brands churn out more affordable versions.

No Individuality

There is another, perhaps less serious, problem – and it’s that as a trend, quiet luxury doesn’t really allow individuals to experiment or express themselves. Whilst everyone may style the pieces differently, the pieces themselves are awfully similar – cropped cream jumpers, chocolate brown trousers, low-heeled shoes, and fine gold chains.

There is nothing wrong with any of these items separately, but when combined together it creates an instantly recognizable look which doesn’t really allow the wearer to say anything about themselves. Sometimes, this is what we want from clothes. We want to look chic and respectable and fit into any setting seamlessly. But sometimes, we want our clothes to speak up for us, to help us make our voices heard. We want to express our individuality through color, pattern, texture, and unexpected jewelry additions.

The Bottom Line

The quiet luxury look seems like it’s here to stay, but is room for more creative styling to flourish alongside it. Tap into the quiet luxury trend if you like, but don’t forget to express yourself.

Fashion in 2023 has mostly been modeled on trends from the ‘90s, but this trend is throwing things back a little further and we’re totally here for it!

If you idolized the looks of Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe, you will be pleased to know that pearls are very much on the current style scene. As a symbol of elegance, pearls have never really gone out of style, but at the moment they are back in a big way.

Earrings

If you want to jump on the pearl wagon but are afraid of going all in, earrings a good place to start. You can wear a pair of statement earrings dripping in pearls, or pop in some little studs to add a little glam to your look.

Headband

Embrace the preppy vibe by using a pearl headband to complete your outfit. They look good on every hair length and texture, and have the added advantage of keeping your hair off your face and out of your eyes.

Clothing

Thought pearls were reserved for jewelry? Wrong! Create the perfect brunch look by pairing a pearl-studded cardigan with jeans and sneakers; or upgrade a basic T-shirt with some pearl-embellished jeans or flats.

Method acting is old news, and our favorite stars are going the extra mile to fully embody their characters. Method dressing is experiencing a huge boom in Hollywood, and we’re seeing an increasing number of A-listers dressing in character while promoting their new movies.

Halle Bailey

Halle Bailey gave a masterclass in method dressing while doing the promo for The Little Mermaid. She fully embraced the mermaidcore trend by rocking ocean-inspired colors, shell-shaped details, pearls, and shimmering, iridescent fabrics.

Jenna Ortega

Jenna Ortega is definitely the queen of method dressing, and it’s sometimes tough to tell the difference between her and Wednesday Addams because she fully embraced the soft goth aesthetic after playing this character.

Anya Taylor-Joy

Anya Taylor-Joy didn’t attend too many events during the promo tour for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, but she made sure to dress accordingly for its world premiere. She channeled her inner Princess Peach in a pink leather jumpsuit by Dior.

Margot Robbie

Margot Robbie has yet to start an actual promo for her upcoming movie Barbie, but if her CinemaCon outfit is an indication of anything, it’s going to be one wild, pink-colored ride.

Three Drink Theory

The viral “three drink” theory proposes a concept of indulging in three drinks at once to achieve the pinnacle of luxury. This combo should include one drink for hydration, one for energy, and one for enjoyment, and TikTok users have shared many interesting combos.
