Unique Points

• 2024's PCAs fell on the same evening as the BAFTAs in London.
• The Barker Hangar in Santa Monica welcomed an array of bright colors, exaggerated silhouettes and fun accessories.
• Laverne Cox always brings drama to the red carpet with a 1987 Thierry Mugler velvet bustier from her own personal archive boasting a wing-tipped neckline, worn with matching opera gloves.
• Ice Spice went all-out in a burnt-orange Dolce & Gabbana dress that complemented both the aquamarine awards backdrop and her signature copper curls.
• Billie Eilish paired her characteristically baggy, offbeat look with big sneakers and a pair of frameless glasses.
• Australian pop icon Kylie Minogue's dress looked like a glamorous, emerald-green candy wrapper.
• Markell Washington doubled down on the cowboycore trend by wrapping his torso in metal-buckled belts (and using another two others to decorate his wrist and hat).
• Actor Xochitl Gomez put a refined spin on the floral pattern trend with a pair of pink fabric flowers sat atop her Gucci outfit, which also featured bejeweled sleeves that fanned out to the elbow.
• Fresh from her victory on Dancing with the Stars for which she earned a nomination in Competition Contestant of the Year category, Xochitl Gomez completed the look with a pair of drop earrings and elegantly styled hair.
