Capes Had A Major Moment At The Golden Globes

it’s a thing

Red carpet fashion always spawns some sort of trend. Some years it’s the Angie Leg, some years it’s a color. This year, it’s all about the cape. Literally—okay, well not literally everyone, but almost everyone wore a cape to the Golden Globes. Just when you thought a dress couldn’t be caped, boom! There it is flowing in the hot, Los Angeles wind, begging for other famous people to step all over it. So while other folks toil over best dressed lists, let’s get a load of all the capes that haunted their way down the Golden Globes’ red carpet in all their majestic, wind-swept, magical glory. Oh, and don't worry: Our best dressed list is coming soon.

Jennifer Lopez's canary cape was a very good looking cape indeed. It was designed by Giambattista Valli and rumor has it, with enough wind, the cape turns into a parachute. Such fashion.

The only thing missing from this Yves Saint Laurent Couture by Hedi Slimane cape is a sign helping people pronounce Saoirse [SUR-SHA] Ronan's name.
