Yet again, another year has come and gone, and we’re left thinking both, “How is this year already over?” and “Dear god, this year will never end.” 2022 was a wild ride in Hollywood, to say the least, between Pete and Kim breaking up after less than a year together, Nick Cannon’s never-ending birth announcements, and of course, all the heated royal drama that came from the long-awaited Meghan & Harry docuseries. But if there’s one thing we counted on all throughout 2022, it was that this year was full of some insanely gorgeous red-carpet fashion moments.
Seriously, in nearly every A-list red carpet event, there were some stunning looks we couldn’t help but gasp at. So many stars brought their fashion A-game this year, whether they were at dozens of events or just a handful. From the Emmys to theAvatar2 premiere, we can think of so many fashion moments that knocked out socks off.
So to say goodbye to 2022, let’s check out our favorite red carpet moments throughout this crazy, topsy-turvy year! From Blake Lively’s elaborate Met Gala gown to Florence Pugh’s show-stealing LBD at the Venice Film Festival, 2022 was a big year for red-carpet fashion.
