Unfreeze, move, refreeze. That is the order that celebrities deliver the most anticipated looks of the year.
Fendi’s Couture Spring/Summer 2023 show left us guessing when we would see the American Horror Story actress, Sarah Paulson, with her wife, Holland Taylor, again together. They changed the expectations of date night to a new level we have yet to comprehend.
Walking a red carpet together is surely a bucket list item of our dreams with a partner. Seeing the two actresses united as one for eight years is one thing, but seeing them turn work into a night out on the town is a different thing.
Vanity Fair invited the women to join the star-studded event, and they swept the floor with Paulson in a shimmering, black gown and Taylor in a pale pink low-cut suit with a trace of lace undergarments showing. Both carried a handbag at their side that screamed old Hollywood with the gold shimmer and champagne pink.
A sweetheart neckline accompanied with puffy shoulder sleeves and sequins was the balancing act to the calmness of the simplicity of Taylor’s satin suit.
Karla Welch, a sought-after celebrity stylist, who also dressed Tracee Ellis Ross, Olivia Wilde, and Hailey Beiber for this buzz of an event, chose a Nina Ricci special for the actress.
The dress accentuated her hourglass figure and reached the ground enough to cover all the way down to her feet. Mejuri stud earrings, a side part, and a gold necklace lined with stones are all three pieces to the puzzle that offered even more of a vision.
Proven by appearances, the women set the tone for the rest of the carpet. Their open love creates a safe, comforting atmosphere that nearly transforms the nerves felt by those walking.
New York Times recorded the time Paulson brought up the topic of their first encounter and all she can remember is that Taylor was “the most exquisitely beautiful woman”. A 32-year-age-gap and all they have to do is arrive at the Oscars together to silence outside noise. The two met at a party back in 2005 when Paulson was involved with someone else, but the connection striked through a DM in 2015 by Taylor. An American love story at its finest.
