Did the WWD Honors 2026 red carpet serve high fashion or high confusion? Because honey, some of these looks had us reaching for the eye bleach faster than a Housewife reaching for a wine glass.
Tracee Ellis Ross arrived looking like she personally invented style, dipped in liquid gold and serving goddess energy that made everyone else look like they got dressed in the dark. Michelle Monaghan brought Old Hollywood glamour with a modern twist — sleek, sophisticated, and exactly zero notes. Then there’s Chloe Fineman, who apparently missed the memo that this was a fashion gala, not an SNL sketch about a confused influencer. Girl, the sheer paneling? The weird cutouts? We love a risk, but this reads more “wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen” than “fashion risk.”
The internet had thoughts. Twitter/X exploded with “Tracee Ellis Ross is THE moment” trending within minutes, while Chloe’s ensemble sparked a “Who styled this?” thread that hit 12K replies before the after-party even started. One user wrote: “Tracee didn’t walk the carpet, she consumed it.” Another: “Chloe looking like she got attacked by a bedazzler and lost.” Brutal? Yes. Accurate? Also yes.
What do you think? A) Tracee Ellis Ross owned the night, no debate B) Chloe Fineman’s avant-garde look was actually iconic and we just don’t get it
