Long gone are the days when playing dress up was reserved for Halloween or the confines of your own bedroom. For today’s stars—and all of us, really—red carpets, premieres, and parties alike provide the perfect setting for embracing one’s inner child. And luckily, today’s designers have us covered.
Whether dipping back in time to turn into a runaway princess, layering up leopard prints to unleash your wild side, or dressing up as a full-on disco ball, there are endless ways to satisfy your fashion-slash-costume curiosities. And lately, celebrities like Jenna Ortega and Emma Chamberlain are turning to the woods, picking out ethereal, lacy pieces worthy of our favorite mythical creatures. I mean, who wouldn’t want to dress like a fairy?
With whimsical embroidery, fern-green hues, and fauna-inspired motifs, designers including Valentino’s Alessandro Michele, Patience Torlowei (of Torlowei), and Gaurav Gupta have focused in on the aesthetic, crafting romantic creations that could camouflage into the forests, but instead stand out on the runways and red carpets.
Characterized for their playful femininity, silk chiffon fabrics, and lace trim, the pieces balance a delicate fragility with a wayward spirit—creating something soft and sweet, yet cool and daring all at once.
The “Green Fairy” is also the very nickname given to Absinthe centuries ago. The vibrant spirit, known for its herbal aroma and alleged hallucinogenic side effects, got the moniker from its magical, cloudy energy and bright green color—an exact shade that has recently been seen on the likes of Zoë Kravitz and Rose Byrne.
The drink was especially popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, among artists and bohemians in Paris. And so many of the green fairy looks we’re seeing this season very well mirror that beautiful, free, c’est la vie vibe.
Ahead, see all of the stars who have been embracing the green fairy trend.
