13 of the most daring looks celebrities have worn in 2026
Red carpets and A-list events have been bold in 2026. Celebrities like Florence Pugh, Rihanna, and Kim Kardashian have been spotted in daring looks.
2026 has been a wild year for celebrity fashion, with many stars making daring looks their own. Florence Pugh, for instance, has consistently upped the ante with each red carpet appearance. Katy Perry, on the other hand, took her bold fashion choices to the stage, rather than the carpet. Zendaya's custom Alexander McQueen gown for "The Odyssey" remains unforgettable, as does Anne Hathaway's maternity fashion and Taylor Swift's stunning Academy Museum Gala gown.
However, the list of memorable looks also includes some that were particularly shocking. Colman Domingo made waves at the 2026 NAACP Image Awards with a vibrant mustard-yellow suit, complete with accessories that added to its boldness. Sombr stood out in lace at the 2026 BRIT Awards, wearing a custom Valentino dress that featured a dramatic red satin jacket with shoulders and a sheer black lace blouse with keyhole cutouts.
Alessandra Ambrosio brought a unique twist to sheer fashion at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, wearing a custom Sophie Couture dress with a plunging neckline and a see-through lace skirt embellished with transparent crystals. Anne Hathaway's Mother Mary premiere was another notable moment, with her Lever Couture floor-length, ruffled dress that was both semi-sheer and metallic.
Rihanna made a bold entrance late to the 2026 Met Gala, wearing a Maison Margiela metallic gown with a jewel-encrusted top, floor-length gold skirt, and outer band that circled her torso. Chrissy Teigen brought back bubble skirts in a fresh way, donning a strapless Aiste Hong dress with a thick white, pleated skirt. Katy Perry's metallic Stella McCartney dress at the 2026 FIFA World Cup was another daring performance, and Cardi B's bright-red Robert Wun ensemble during Paris Fashion Week proved her fashion prowess.
Florence Pugh again made a striking impression at the "East of Eden" premiere with a custom Vivienne Westwood Couture gown in yellow and gray, while Alexander Skarsgård's see-through dress shoes at a Wicker screening were both unique and daring. Megan Thee Stallion made a statement at the InStyle Imagemakers Awards with a gray Robe ensemble.
