The Dead Carpet...I've been calling it that for a long time. I wrote some insanity about it for Refinery29, many years ago. I just felt like the looks are tired, the celebs were tired remembering who was sponsoring them, the stylists (unless they were very hungry) were exhausted...everything fell flat waaaaaay before covid. Nothing was memorable or long lasting...which signaled it was time to figure out something new. IT had run its course. We will always love glamour and celebrities and sparkles but it just felt like paid placements and bad pairings. So we have had 2 years to figure out something new and so far-nothing. When Gaga wore the only Gucci for the Gucci movie...she looked soooooo bored with it all. Like she would have rather been home with her man and her dogs. I am hopeful some expert will figure this out. There is no spark, surprise. We need magic. Where is it?
