Red Carpet Rebels: When Sweaters Steal the Show

Red carpets are usually a place for big, flashy dresses. But lately, some stars are shaking things up. Jennifer Lawrence showed up at the Rome Film Festival in a cozy sweater and skirt. It was a big change from the usual fancy gowns. People noticed. Sweaters aren't usually seen on red carpets. For years, stars have worn more and more extravagant outfits. Think huge dresses with long trains. Some even come with fancy headpieces. But Lawrence's outfit was different. It was simple and comfortable. Some people might think it wasn't fancy enough. But others loved it. Lawrence's outfit was from Dior's new collection. It was stylish, but not over the top. She's not the only one breaking the rules. Megan Stalter wore jeans to the Emmys. Taylor Russell wore vintage Levi's to the Fashion Awards. Even Kristen Stewart wore a sweater dress to the Toronto Film Festival. These stars are asking a big question: Can red carpet fashion be more relaxed? In the past, celebrities dressed how they wanted. Now, there's more pressure to look perfect. But maybe it's time for a change. The Cannes Film Festival even tried to ban big dresses. They said the dresses were too big and caused problems. But no one really listened. Maybe it's time for a new look.
