Capes Are Taking Over the Red Carpet and We Can See Why

Capes are a timeless symbol of heroism, but superhero movies aren’t the only place where we’ve been seeing them lately. Capes are also making their way to the red carpet, and some of our favorite stars fully embraced this amazing trend.

Brie Larson

Captain Marvel may not be wearing a cape, but Brie Larson sure does! The actress proved this elegant trend can have some edge when she paired this leather piece with a graphic print dress by Valentino.

Amal Clooney is a real-life superhero and one of the most inspiring women in the world, so it’s only fitting that she looks amazing in this caped white gown by Jean-Louis Scherrer.

Gigi Hadid

The young model embraced her inner superhero in this whimsical Emilia Wickstead jumpsuit that she was rocking during the most fitting event possible – Variety’s Power of Women gala.

Danai Gurira

Cape coats also deserve some time in the spotlight, and that’s exactly what Danai Gurira gave them with this stunning Thom Browne piece.
