I love Queen Latifah! Queen Latifah is so beautiful! Every time you see her, if it’s in a cosmetics ad, or on the red carpet, she’s always flawless.
When I started presenting I’d get invited to red carpet events and I went to a few premieres. But pretty soon I thought, ‘Life’s too short.’
Bling is over. Red carpet covered with rhinestones is out. I call it ‘the new modesty.’
As an actress, one of the perks is having access to ridiculously expensive clothing and prancing around on the red carpet. Who wouldn’t want to have fun with that?
A scuffed up shoe on the red carpet or at a big premiere is never okay! It can really alter the vibe of a trendy look.
A lot of people always ask me about what life is like. Yes, it’s glamorous, it’s glitzy, but there is a lot more goes on than that glitz and glamour you see in a photograph or on a red carpet.
The kind of person who’s going to stand on the red carpet and love the attention and have the big grin – I’m just not like that. I want to get in there, do what I’ve got to do, and get home to my kids.
I’ve been having this really weird anxiety dream about arriving too late or too early, and the people in charge are like, ‘You have to leave! You have to go back to the hotel and get ready!’ And I use the wrong exit, and I’m running down the red carpet in pyjamas, like, ‘No! Don’t look at me!’
When someone who loves and cares about me compliments me, I feel more glamorous than when the flashbulbs are going off on the red carpet.
My life was always different growing up. I mean, even before the show, my dad was who he is. He’s an Olympic athlete. And we were going to premieres, like ‘Finding Nemo’ premieres, and we would be little kids, like, before the show, walking down the red carpet.
Actors play different characters in every project they do. Though it has nothing to do with my craft, the red carpet gives me the opportunity to show who I really am and be myself.
I have always been a fan of Alex Perry’s work. His gowns are so beautiful, elegant, and always uniquely crafted to the woman wearing them on the red carpet. They are a true piece of art-meets-couture.
Generally for red carpet, I love to relax first. I love to work out. I love to eat well, drink tons of water beforehand, so on the night of the red carpet I feel good and ready to go. I also love to get a good body scrub.
I have to wear Eloquii to red carpet events where my friends are wearing custom Versace.
For the red carpet, I like a platform heel, but for everyday, it’s mostly Converse high-tops or booties with black tights.
At the prom, you are more about boys thinking you’re cute. On the red carpet, you have to please everyone because there are a lot more people looking at those pictures.
The red carpet doesn’t interest me. I think people become all the same; it’s like everyone posing from the three-quarter angle in some low-cut, fitted dress; it’s all the same.
If you believe what you are on the red carpet, then you would have to go see a doctor, and there are so many actors like that. You have to know very well this is a moment of glamour, and when I go back home, I don’t have the airbrush, and I have dark circles because I don’t have the make-up on.
There is definitely a comeback of the idea of dressing well every day. Nowadays, suits can be worn for many occasions – to work or to school, to a dinner party or red carpet event.
I love being on stage and connecting with 2000 people, but you don’t really see me that often at the Logies and all that red carpet stuff. I’d rather just have dinner with my wife and kids.
There’s nothing worse than seeing someone chewing gum on the red carpet!
I have the utmost respect for red carpet interviewers; it is such a hard job.
Smiling makes a huge difference. A lot of people walk the red carpet and try to be sexy. I don’t do that; I always smile.
I believe that sometimes, when you start out at 18 years of age on the red carpet, it can make you think, ‘This is normal, this is easy.’
There have been times where you do the red carpet in a certain shoe, and you go into the bathroom, you take that shoe off, you put the other shoe on from your purse, and then you walk around for the rest of the night.
On the red carpet, I need to be protected. When I wear a Chanel dress, I feel like I’ve earned the right to be there. And Karl Lagerfeld is so poetic, such an intelligent man. I like the way he has the power to draw attention.
For those of us working in fashion, it is very easy to add your name to a committee list, walk a red carpet and claim to care. But taking tangible, hands-on steps to create change speaks volumes.
I think it’s particularly fun not being a full-time showbiz reporter because you still have the ‘Oh, wow!’ factor when you go out on the red carpet and there are these big stars that are standing there. But if you’re doing this day in and day out, it becomes a little blase.
I sometimes wonder if two thirds of the globe is covered in red carpet.
Diane Kruger looks pretty awesome on the red carpet and is effortlessly cool. I’m also a fan of Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin.
I’ll definitely wear orange on the red carpet!
I never understood who all those people are behind the actors! When you see them on the red carpet on TV, you go, ‘Why does that person need such a large entourage?’ And then you realize that every single person there has a role to play.
I don’t expect any red carpet to the big leagues. If the opportunity comes, then it comes. But I don’t think I’m owed anything.
You are supposed to have a dream of walking the red carpet. But I’m really not like that. Because fame is… I don’t think it is something interesting or precious.
When I was younger, I would set up Grammy parties at my house where I would invite all of my friends over, and my whole family would sit in the living room glued to the TV. But I would just dream of someday going there, and I would watch the red carpet interviews over and over and study what was happening.
I think I look great in pretty much everything… kidding! For the red carpet, I like to do really natural eyes and a nice sleek ponytail. Sometimes I’m into a really dark rouge, purple bold lip.
I feel like I’m playing more of a role walking down the red carpet than when I’m playing an ordinary woman covered in sweat.
I’m really excited to get my Herve Leger, my Louboutins, and to be rocking the red carpet. I don’t know if Hollywood can handle it, but I’m ready to bring it.
At home I wear my own clothes, no makeup and don’t do anything exciting with my hair. I get to borrow pretty dresses for the red carpet and have experts do my hair and makeup.
There’s something rich and nourishing in the mundane – that isn’t sparkly or red carpet.
Even on the red carpet, French celebrities keep it minimal. Think of Charlotte Gainsbourg – the look can be quite undone.
We have to review our foreign policy and stop rolling out the red carpet for countries we know to be funding fundamentalism: countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
As a designer, you are flattered to see anyone in one of your designs, whether it’s on a red carpet or passing by you in the market. It’s this wonderful little high every time.
I remember being on a red carpet and they put the mic to us and asked ‘are you feminists?’ and we panicked. We were so terrified to speak back then.
Fashion is really a place where every other industry connects, whether it’s music or acting. At the end of the day, everyone is going to walk the red carpet and be interested in the fashion side of it. I think that’s really cool because as a model, you get to connect with a lot of different worlds.
People think fashion shows take hours – it’s 15 minutes. You walk in, do red carpet, take the pictures, you sit down… and then it’s over.
It’s just never been in my nature to go out there and go on a red carpet to say, ‘Oh, publicize me!’
The red carpet is really the only thing that makes me nervous.
I prefer clean silhouettes that are almost utilitarian, but I’m not afraid to take risks on the red carpet, either.
The only place I want to be recognised is the red carpet or an actor, where I am in my professional capacity. Otherwise I just want to be left alone.
I want to get away from couture just being done for a picture or for a single moment on the red carpet. I want to try and convince women that couture can be worn in the day and that there’s a reality and relevance there, because that’s what Mr. Christian Dior wanted.
I remember as a kid, my mom had to trade canned food to buy my brother and me chocolate because we were living in Serbia at the time, and there were sanctions. If I catch myself complaining about going to a red carpet event, I say, ‘Shut up.’
The red carpet is not something I really know how to work. It intimidates me. I feel very tiny.
I sometimes think, ‘What am I doing standing on this red carpet?’ It’s hard to believe. You just tell yourself, ‘Just play along and hopefully no one will notice!’
I mean, I cried on my first red carpet. I literally walked off and cried because there were so many people and they were all taking pictures and I just felt overwhelmed because I’m a feeler and I’m sensitive.
When I first started going on the red carpet, I wore a lot of Armani, but I didn’t really have my own style apart from that. I think I was just lazy.
