Taylor Swift, Natalie Portman, and Chappell Roan have been all about medieval fashion on the red carpet recently—here's why.
she uses fashion “like armor” as a result. It seems she’s not the only one, and lately a movement of celebrities wearing items that almost classify asIn between the typically sheer and glitzy red carpet styles, a new trend has entered the red carpet coliseum: medieval-inspired gladiator wear. It takes inspiration from the Dark Ages, but with enough razzle-dazzle and fantasy to make it work fo any actress or pop star.
Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race on September 10, less than 24 hours before appearing on the VMAs red carpet. Her endorsement sparked backlash from right-leaning pundits—many who implored Swift to “stay out” of politics—and even caused Harris’s opponent Donald Trump to write “I hate Taylor Swift” on social media.
It shouldn’t be lost then that Swift and many of her celebrity counterparts are dressing in protective, almost armor-like clothing during an election year—especially when access to reproductive healthcare and autonomy is at stake. That same night during the VMAs, Chappell Roan sent perhaps an even bolder message through fashion.that she dressed up with a 300-year old robe, silver tin boots, and dagger-like nails.
Chainmail and medieval style have even made way to the celebrity press tour circuit where the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy and Lily Collins have tried out the look. The words of the late great photographer Bill Cunningham ring true: “Fashion is the armor to survive everyday life.”
