From gilded flower arrangements to dresses pierced by arrows, celebrities are championing directional looks that act as armour. But the mood for Man Ray goes beyond the red carpet
Anya Taylor-Joy in 90s Paco Rabanne, pierced on all sides with arrows, a foil to sitting down. Sydney Sweeney in a Balmain top crafted with dozens of white flowers, grapes and hands. Gwen Stefani in a custom resin dress that looks like a big piece of snapped-off caramel lattice.
From dresses adorned with entire bouquets of metal flowers to shoulder straps that float a couple of inches above the actual shoulder, sculptural garments have been taking over red carpets and magazine covers of late.
