Fashion Trust U.S. is the brainchild of Tania Fares. Fares assembled a board of advisers for Fashion Trust U.S., which includes France, Kate Hudson, Miranda Kerr, Karla Welch, Law Roach, Laura Brown, Samira Nasr and Arianne Phillips.

Fares, who lives between Lebanon, London and Los Angeles, is also the force behind the creation of the U.K.’s BFC Fashion Trust in 2011 and Fashion Trust Arabia in 2018. In an interview with WWD, she said she’s hoping to continue adding more categories if she can raise financial support, including prizes for accessories, shoes and bags.

The inaugural Fashion Trust Awards honors design talent in categories ranging from ready-to-wear to sustainability. Comedian Phoebe Robinson hosted this year’s event. The ceremony honored Aisling Camps, Soull and Dynasty Ogun, Papa Oppong, Jacques Agbobly, Puppets and Puppets and Elena Velez. Google, St. John, Farfetch and Code8 Beauty were among the sponsors.

Wilson revealed her relationship with Agruma on Instagram in June. In February, she announced she was engaged. Agruma is the founder and designer of Lemon Ve Limon, a sustainable Los Angeles-based clothing brand. The company was founded in 2021.

In November 2022, Wilson and Agruma launched a clothing brand together called R&R Club. The loungewear brand’s first capsule collection featured a white hoodie and sweatpants with the R&R Club logo.

Wilson and Agruma attended the Vanity Fair Oscars after party together last Sunday. For the occasion, Wilson took a sustainable approach to dressing by recycling a previously worn Oscars gown from the 2020 ceremony. The off-the-shoulder sparkling gold evening dress was designed by Jason Wu.

Wilson regularly works with celebrity stylist Elizabeth Stewart to create her event looks, including the re-worn Jason Wu gown. Stewart also works with Cate Blanchett, Elizabeth Olsen and Jessica Chastain.

The Women’s Cancer Research Fund hosted its Unforgettable Evening Benefit Gala at the Four Seasons Hotel. Proceeds from the event go toward supporting funding for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, which is a program dedicated to ending breast cancer by advancing research across the globe. During the gala, Sharon Stone received the Courage Award for her support of breast cancer research and dedication to raising awareness for the course.

During the gala, Stone received the Courage Award for her support of breast cancer research and dedication to raising awareness for the cause.

In a speech, the “Basic Instinct” star recalled her experience undergoing surgeries to remove tumors. “Those mammograms are not fun,” she said. “And for someone like me who was told that I had breast cancer because I had a tumor that was larger than my breast and they were sure that I couldn’t possibly have a tumor without it being cancer, it wasn’t. But I went to the hospital, saying, ‘If you open me up and it’s cancer, please take both my breasts,’ because I am not a person defined by my breasts. You know, that might seem funny coming from me since you’ve all seen ‘em.”

Rebel Wilson, Rachel Zoe, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, Julianne Hough, Kathy and Rick Hilton, Lori Loughlin and Olivia Jade Giannulli were among the guests, and Maroon 5 performed.

The veteran actress, who received an Oscar nomination in 1996 for “Casino,” recently revealed the difficulty she had in securing a dress for her first Oscars ceremony in 1992. On an episode of the “Table for Two” podcast that was released earlier this month, the actress discussed how no one would loan her a dress when she was set to present because her career-changing movie “Basic Instinct” only came out just shortly before the Oscars. The actress ended up wearing a Betsey Johnson jumpsuit.

Lucy Liu’s range as an actress has seen her play characters such as one of Charlie’s Angels, an ’80s socialite in “Why Women Kill” and more. For her latest role as a goddess in “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” the actress has brought her A-game when it comes to red-carpet fashion.

From power-dressing ensembles for photo calls to glamorous gowns, Liu has delivered a wide range of looks as the movie continues its promotional tour. WWD takes a closer look at some of the actress’s fashion choices from the premieres so far.

Los Angeles

For the latest “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” premiere in Los Angeles on March 14, Liu wore a custom-made gown from burgeoning New York-based demi-couture designer Andrew Kwon. The fabric was a metallic misty rose gold that was extremely technical in detail — it took four weeks to create. It was pressed and coated a multitude of times on French lace then it was crushed and pulled in different directions. Other details of the dress included a hand-stitched tulle-draped bodice.

In a statement, designer Andrew Kwon shared his admiration of Liu, saying, “Lucy has been one of my biggest inspirations growing up. I’ve always been a watcher of Hollywood and the big screen, but to be honest — there weren’t so many people that looked like me.”

He added, “I’m proud and honored to be able to dress someone that’s been a muse to me for so many years.”

For all her press tour looks, Liu has worked with stylist Sarah Slutsky. On dressing Liu, Slutsky said, “The focus of the tour looks was energetic, playful and optimism — the film has a beautiful theme about family and supporting one another so we wanted these looks to be bright and fun, while lending a positive outlook to the future.”

“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” is a sequel to the 2019 DC film “Shazam!” The action-adventure stars Zachary Levi returning in the title role, along with Adam Brody, Asher Angel, Rachel Zegler, Meagan Good, Liu, Djimon Hounsou and Helen Mirren. The film will be released in theaters on March 17.

What’s old is new again—just look at the red carpets this awards season. Hunter Schafer, Zendaya, Cate Blanchett, and more used the red carpet as an opportunity to showcase vintage fashion at the BAFTAs, NAACP Image Awards, Oscars, and more. Many of the gowns and ensembles were from the recent past by designers like Versace, Jean Paul Gaultier, Dior, and more. One particularly popular era: 1995-2005 (which, coincidentally, encompasses some of the years Gen-Zers were born.)
And the looks feel remarkably of the moment. Take, for example, Olivia Rodrigo. The pop star, with the help of stylist Danielle Goldberg, wore horse-printed Chloé pants from Stella McCartney’s tenure at the brand on the red carpet. With a flared leg and low-slung waist, the pants, incredibly, hit multiple quadrants on the trendiness chart. While vintage Versace—namely the 90s— has been worn to events by Zendaya, Dua Lipa, and Bella Hadid. It’s fashion so good, it demands to be worn twice.
Vintage taps into the ever-growing desire for sustainability within fashion. Why make an entirely new dress when there are plenty of great ones waiting to be reworn? And the looks do not have to feel overly rooted in the past either. Popular archival shops such as Tab Vintage, Pechuga Vintage, and Shrimpton Couture have emerged as reliable go-to’s for remarkably curated and of-the-moment vintage fashion for celebrities and fashion enthusiasts.
And then there is Cate Blanchett, who has not only reworn looks from previous red carpets but also reworked garments into entirely new creations. An Alexander McQueen gown becomes a fitted top; repurposed lace from the Armani workshops is used for a new gown. Blanchett showcases that vintage fashion can be utilized in multiple and myriad ways.

Below, check out some of the best vintage fashion moments from this past awards season.

Rep. Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez remains under investigation for her 2021 Mat Gala appearance, where she made headlines for her white “Tax The Rich” Brother Vellies gown.
Thursday, the Office of Congressional Ethics determined “there is substantial reason to believe that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez accepted impermissible gifts” tied to her Met Gala attendance.

Ethics committee members voted unanimously to extend the investigation.

In an 18-page detailed report of the initial findings, they noted that the congresswoman was provided with a Brother Vellies couture dress, handbag, shoes and jewelry, as well as hair, makeup, styling services, transportation and a two-day room rental at the Carlyle Hotel, tallying thousands of dollars. Brother Vellies also provided Riley Roberts, Ocasio-Cortez’s partner, with a pair of shoes and a bowtie, according to the report.

Ocasio-Cortez was among the public officials invited to attend the Condé Nast-sponsored Met Gala in the fall of 2021. Her gown was designed by Brother Vellies founder Aurora James, who posed on the red carpet with the Bronx-born legislator, who represents New York’s 14th district. Along with New York City Mayor Eric Adams and select other officials, Ocasio-Cortez was among the officials whose estimated $35,000 tickets were comped by the museum. That practice has been in place for years and as of December, when the OCE’s investigation was announced, the museum planned to continue to do so, a spokesman said.  

A media requests to Ocasio-Cortez’ office was not immediately acknowledged Thursday.

Her attorney, David Mitrani of Sandler, Reiff, Lamb, Rosenstein & Birkenstock LLC, issued an email to the Committee on Ethics’ staff director and chief counsel Tom Rust that read, “Though no Ethics violation has been found, the Office of Congressional Ethics did identify that there were delays in paying vendors for costs associated with the Congresswoman’s attendance at the Met Gala. The Congresswoman finds these delays unacceptable, and she has taken several steps to ensure nothing of this nature will ever happen again.”

The statement continued, “However, while regrettable, this matter definitively does not rise to the level of a violation of House Rules or of federal law. Even after OCE’s exhaustive review of the Congresswoman’s personal communications, there is no evidence that she ever intended to avoid these expenses. To the contrary, the record clearly shows that the Congresswoman always understood that she had to pay for these expenses personally — and she even worked with the undersigned counsel prior to the event to ensure that she complied with all applicable ethics rules. We are confident the Committee on Ethics will dismiss this matter.”

As part of the just-released report, the board recommended that the Committee on Ethics issue subpoenas to Aurora James, Brother Vellies, and publicist Janna Pea.

The group’s findings highlighted how a campaign staffer for Ocasio-Cortez was slow to pay a few invoices related to her Met Gala appearance.

For example, between Jan. 13, 2022, and Feb. 24, 2022, The Wall Group’s collections team made “repeated attempts to secure payment” for a $344 bill and noted on multiple occasions that the invoice was “EXTREMELY overdue.” The staffer initially attempted to pay the outstanding bill on Feb. 24, 2022, two days after the OCE first contacted Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s staff, but the payment was rejected. The staffer “finally made payment for the service on March 16, 2022,” but did not explain to the committee why there was such a delay, according to the report.

Representatives for James, Pea and Brother Vellies did not respond immediately to requests for comment Thursday.

The report said that Ocasio-Cortez recalled following up with campaign staffers several times after the Met Gala about the need to pay for the services she was provided and was told that they were in a “holding pattern,” since Brother Vellies needed to provide them with an updated invoice. An initial bill of for $2,283.93 came from Brother Vellies for the gown and handbag rental, and the purchase of a pair of shoes was later revised to $990.76.

Ocasio-Cortez acknowledged she was not privy to the details about how payment was supposed to be structured and/or when demands for payment were sent, and she relied on the campaign staffer to address these matters. She told the OCE that she only “learned about the extent of the nonpayment” on May 11, 2022, the day before her interview with the OCE,” the report stated. Ocasio-Cortez told the OCE that it was decided with her team and legal counsel in advance of The Met Gala that she would personally pay for the attire and services she received in connection with the Met Gala, as opposed to paying with campaign or official funds.

Streeters, which handled Ocasio-Cortez’ hairstyling for the red-carpet event, also had to come knocking more than once to get its $477 bill paid, according to the OCE report. Streeters’ accounts receivable department made repeated attempts to secure payment, and threatened in a Feb. 23, 2022, email to “file a complaint with [New York City’s Office of Labor Policy and Standards for Workers] against Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez if payment was not deposited before the end of the following business day. “On Feb. 24, 2022, two days after the OCE first contacted Rep. Ocasio-Cortez’s staff about this review, the campaign staffer paid for her hair styling service,” the report stated.
