Goddess Dressing Makes A Comeback

Goddesses are having a moment right now! From the runway to red carpets—it is hard to miss the all-pervading undercurrent of cinematic mystique and ‘goddessy’ allure.

At the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, actor Natalie Portman sparkled in two of Christian Dior’s significant creations: a tulle embroidered “I feel blue” dress and a grand gala dress from Fall/Winter 1949 Dior haute couture collection. Each look radiated an air of old-world Hollywood glamour. Influencer Diipa Büller Khosla looked like a bird of paradise glistening in a gold-sculpted Gaurav Gupta ensemble as she struck a fine silhouette against the azure French Riviera skies. Besides Cannes, the Grammy this year too had its share of goddesslike moments. Jennifer Lopez channelled her innate timeless diva in a dramatically ruffled and beaded Gucci creation. Moreover, Valentino’s Resort 23 collection strongly nods in favour of high priestess dressing, featuring ensembles with sheer billowing sleeves, hour-glass silhouettes, and cut-out details. Also worth mentioning are Nensi Dojaka’s lingerie-inspired chiffon dresses with trains which evoke visuals of statement-making red-carpet moments synonymous with cinematic history. Be it Versace’s gothic lace creations or Saint Laurent’s hoodie dresses cut from jersey—it is a summer of the ‘glamazon’. Chanel’s recently held Cruise 2023/24 show held in LA too was an ode to the city of angels and drew from some of Coco Chanel’s seminal works in Hollywood films (actor Gloria Swanson was seen in a Chanel gown in the 1931 film, Tonight or Never).
