With 2013 just around the corner, here at Grazia Daily, we thought it the perfect time to look back at the Fashion Year that was 2012. Let's reignite the golden glow of awards season gown-wearing. Let's relive the style perks from many a swanky event. Now is the time to turn an admiring eye to the fashion moments that have lingered. Think Gwyneth Paltrow draped in a white Tom Ford cape at the Oscars or Karolina Kurkova working a sparkling turban at the Met Ball.
Yes, we’d like to take this opportunity to celebrate the under appreciated art of Red Carpet Dressing, to acknowledge those ladies who, in the last year, took sartorialness to new, dazzling heights. Take our poster girl Diane Kruger, for example. You may want to say, 'yeah, yeah, here’s another glitzy gown at Cannes.' Diane, however, practically screams, 'I am the chicest girl in the whole wide world.'
Then there's Kristen Stewart whose surly expression and gawky body language has evolved into a fierce red carpet attitude topped off with a killer pair of legs. We've seen Elle Fanning and Rita Ora emerge into bona fide style icons while our girl crushes on the likes of Blake Lively and Angelina Jolie have gone from strength to strength thanks to their red carpet turns. Because it’s not simply about good dressing - it takes a certain je ne sais quois to pull off ensembles of this caliber.
So without further ado let’s revel in the very best that 2012's swankiest events had to offer. You’ll see some faces both familiar and new. These are truly the iconic, the ridiculously glam, the we’d-eat-our-own-Miu-Mius-to-be. Here's hoping we'll see their like again come 2013...
