On October 27, New York hosted the WWD Honors 2026 ceremony, bringing together actors, models, designers, and fashion industry representatives on a single red carpet. Among the evening's guests were Tracee Ellis Ross, François Arnaud, Adrien Brody, and Georgina Chapman. Overall, three prominent trends united on the carpet: oversized suits with accentuated shoulders, dresses with sheer inserts and deconstructed cuts, and nods to early 2000s vintage. Below is a breakdown of the key looks with an emphasis on cut, color, and details.
Light Celine Satin and Tailored Saint Laurent Silhouette
Tracee Ellis Ross chose an ivory satin Celine ensemble from the Fall 2026 collection. A collared blazer and wide-leg trousers were complemented by a matching coat draped over the actress's shoulders. She paired the light look with voluminous micro-curl hair and red lipstick, creating a contrast with the evening's predominantly dark palette. François Arnaud, by contrast, appeared in a dark blue Saint Laurent suit with an exaggerated relaxed cut: broad shoulders, large lapels, and roomy trousers defined his silhouette. Underneath his jacket, he wore a light blue striped shirt and added a dark patterned tie.
Brody and Chapman: A Joint Appearance in Dark Tones
Adrien Brody and Georgina Chapman made a joint appearance, supporting the evening's dark palette. The designer posed in a form-fitting black dress with a deep neckline and wide straps, while the actor opted for a black ensemble with a more relaxed silhouette, wearing his jacket draped over his shoulders. The couple became one of the most striking frames of the ceremony, highlighting the contrast between structured feminine tailoring and loose masculine styling.
Deconstruction, Transparency, and Floral Embroidery
Monaghan chose a black Altuzarra dress from the Spring 2027 collection. Its standout feature was a deconstructed cut with intentionally raw edges and sheer inserts adorned with floral embroidery. Another highlight was long earrings featuring large floral elements: the actress wore her hair in a sleek bun, leaving the jewelry completely exposed. This look exemplified how the ceremony blended minimal forms with decorative detailing.
Shirtless Suit and Oversized Silhouettes
Luisa Jacobson tried on a light pinstripe Tom Ford suit designed by Haider Ackermann. She wore the double-breasted blazer with broad shoulders without a shirt, accentuating the deep neckline with a large black flower on the lapel. The wide trousers almost covered her shoes, sustaining the oversized silhouette of the entire outfit. In the same spirit of volume, Coco Rocha chose a brown ensemble: a jacket resembling a puffer coat, with a fluffy collar adding even more bulk to the upper half. Feinman, conversely, leaned into minimalism—a long slip dress in a rich chocolate shade featuring thin straps, a rounded neckline, and a small train, where the smooth, glossy fabric served as the primary accent.
2004 Vintage and Structured Black Silhouettes
Hall appeared in a black ensemble consisting of wide trousers and a long-sleeved turtleneck top, where an asymmetrical hem exposed a section of the waist—this cutout became the key detail of the outfit, complemented by understated jewelry and sleekly gathered hair. Einbinder chose a black dress with expressive shoulder shapes, pairing it with dark tights and earrings. Turning to fashion archives, the actress arrived in a vintage 2004 Roberto Cavalli dress: thin straps, a deep V-neckline, and an asymmetrical split combined with a green botanical print on a beige-gold background, completed by black strappy sandals and soft waves in her hair.
