The red carpet trend brought back the vintage popularity of capes as executive fashion accessories. Several celebrities brought attention to classic dramatic accessories through their use of capes which enhanced their outfits with elegance and appeal.

Gracie Abrams looked stunning on the red carpet, wearing a Chanel ensemble that oozed ethereal charm. She wore a delicate buttercream-colored sheer dress with intricate detailing, topped off with a flowing cape-hood hybrid that added a soft and romantic touch.

The sheer cape tumbled over her body effortlessly, adding a dreamy quality to the overall look. This was a super modulation of modern transparency in conjunction with the vintage-inspired cape effect, creating something visually impressive.

At the Grammys, Paris Hilton continued her signature style by presenting an extravagant fashion statement with her dress. She entered the red carpet while wearing a mind-blowing halter dress with an uneven scarf-like design. The costume combined a retro Studio 54 style through its light-reflecting reflective fabric that represented the disco age. Hilton's asymmetrical cape feature gave her outfit its distinctive flair as it transformed her style into both modern and fashionable. She selected a cape that harmonized with her dress instead of using it as an additional component to show contemporary variations of this classic design. Hilton used her cape as evidence that one can create a powerful effect without dramatic elements because minimal integration works wonders for fashion makeup.

Additional celebrities besides Abrams and Hilton took on various versions of the cape trend. Victoria Monét wore the attention of the spectators in an open light green dress that featured cut-out designs which she paired with an ethereal cape that covered her shoulders.
