Naturally, the jewellery was fabulous (check out Carey Mulligan’s chunky crystal Cartier ear cuff, Anya Taylor-Joy’s delicate frosting of Tiffany & Co diamonds, and Viola Davis’s twinkling Pomellato chains). But one of our favourite accents came via an altogether more unusual type of iconography: the Prada triangular plaque drawn onto Sarah Paulson’s purple arm cast. “When you’re Lady Paulson, you get a custom Prada cast to go with your custom Prada dress,” explained Karla Welch of the purple plaster of Paris shrouding Paulson’s forearm. Elsewhere, opera gloves got the cool-girl stamp of approval on Celeste (in Gucci) and Cynthia Erivo (in epic eye-watering green Valentino couture). And, the cult accessories that debuted during digital fashion weeks finally had their moment in the sun. Matthew Williams, who presented his fresh Givenchy vision in October, might not have predicted his spunky, horn-studded shoes would be worn by Laura Dern on an empty red carpet (presenters attended the ceremonies in person in New York and LA), but the designer always manages to be ahead of the curve.
