Best Looks Inspired by Icons
Inspiration and imitation is one of the biggest parts of fashion. From being young and trying to dress like your favorite pop star to wearing the craziest thing and starting a new trend. These days it may be a meme or a retweet, but celebrities are always inspiring us on the red carpet whether they are dressing to the theme of the Met Gala or about to receive a career changing award. The red carpet is the place where we see celebrities express themselves as they smolder at the paparazzi. We see these looks and they inspire us because that's what the world of fabrics and couture does. Fashion can't help but be copied and innovated and that's why not all of the looks on the red carpet are completely original and instead paying tribute to another celebrity and their style.
