We’ve seen so many fashion trends come and go, over the years, and with 2023 alone, it seems like everyone is hopping on the newest one every other week. From Barbiecore to mermaidcore, cowboy couture to gothic glam, everyone is rocking the assignment. However, there are also quite a few that decide to let out their rebellious spirit, especially when it comes to their red-carpet fashion.
We’re about to go into March of this year (which still isn’t computing in our brains), and we’ve already seen so many daring looks that made red carpet history. In Feb 2022, we saw some startling looks at the BRIT Awards, colorful dreams at the Grammys, and even head-turning ensembles at the SAG Awards. While so many looks have been gorgeous, only a few can truly be described as daring.
Whether it was a look that’s a total 180 from an A-lister’s usual style or something that pushed the boundaries of regular fashion, we’ve seen so much in the past four weeks. February was the month of daring looks, and we couldn’t get enough of it!
