Firsts by Deena

In this episode, Deena delves into the crossroads of fashion and the Red Carpet. Exploring the shift from spontaneous elegance to calculated stylization, she recalls the pioneering Giorgio Armani Oscars moments from the 80s which redefined the interaction between fashion and Hollywood. Reflecting on Versace's imprint on the Red Carpet, Deena highlights iconic instances such as Elizabeth Hurley's safety pin dress and Jennifer Lopez's jungle-print dress which inspired the creation of Google Images. Looking back at these moments, Deena boldly raises the question: has today’s meticulous styling dimmed the once-spontaneous allure of the red carpet? This episode will leave you thinking about the interplay of authenticity, branding, and beauty in today's world of celebrity couture. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
