Easy-breezy, summery frocks reigned supreme on the red carpets, though A-listers were divided on their approaches: Some stars opted for sleek minimalism, while others went all-in on theatrical maximalism.
Those on team minimalism? Model (and Vogue cover star ) Kaia Gerber stepped out at the 2026 U.S. Open wearing a sleek, bodycon LBD from Yana Matkivski. In Paris, Celine Dion—who will be performing a set of shows there in September—donned a chic Alaïa trench coat-dress with elegant draping. Naturally, when a legend like Dion emerges, a huge crowd of fans will form. And as the rapturous applause and screaming showed, such stealthy-chic designs, with small details and a sharp silhouette, still have maximum impact.
There were also stars who leaned into opulence this week, too. At the Practical Magic 2 premiere in London, for one, leads Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman went full movie star—Bullock in a leopard-printed Givenchy strapless number from Sarah Burton, and Kidman in a custom icy-blue sequin Chanel dress with chain detailing. The looks may not have been witchy—method dressing, who?—but they were fabulous nonetheless. Equally as exquisite, were their co-stars Maisie Williams and Joey King , who have been delivering enchanting press tour looks, too.
