Vuitton’s New Day
The Golden Globes marked the debut of musician and men's creative director Pharrell Williams' first red carpet looks for Louis Vuitton and the continuation of women's creative director Nicolas Ghesquière's decade-long role, cemented by the extension of his contract, first reported by WWD.
Globes winner Emma Stone, styled by Petra Flannery, wore a custom deep-V gown with flower embellishments and Louis Vuitton high jewelry pieces by Francesca Amfitheatrof. (The embroidery was a mix of different materials: sequins, silk and metal threads, silver glass tubes and strass, and the dress took 800 hours of work to make.)
Oprah Winfrey cheered on “The Color Purple” in a custom curvehugging, purple sequin gown with geometric embroidery that took more than 600 hours to make.
“Saltburn's” salty star Barry Keoghan sported a red-hot Damier patterned Louis Vuitton suit with a punk edge from the men's spring 2004 collection with loads of jewelry, including pearl buttons and a pearl wallet chain.
Colman Domingo, who portrayed
Bayard Rustin, the openly gay civil rights activist and adviser to Martin Luther King Jr. in the film “Rustin,” wore a directional black tie look of an elegant Nehru style jacket, flared pants and brooches that had special meaning. “Nehru was a colleague of Bayard Rustin,” he told WWD of the first prime minister of India following its independence, another trailblazer for democracy. Domingo was also wearing an agate stone ring that belonged to Rustin, adding, “I feel like his energy is with me.”
