Emily Blunt & More Red Carpet Arrivals at WWD Style Awards 2026

The crowd brought their fashion A-game to the second annual WWD Style Awards on Friday night.

The VIP event, held during “Golden Week” leading up to the Golden Globes on Sunday night, paid tribute to the creative forces defining red carpet style across fashion, beauty and accessories. And what better way to showcase the style visionaries than the red carpet itself?

Honorees and guests including Emily Blunt, Tyriq Withers, McKenna Grace, Chanel Iman, Patrick Ta, and more walked the carpet before heading inside for the ceremony at the Regent Santa Monica Beach. The second annual WWD Style Awards was presented by Amazon Beauty, Donna Karan New York, and IHG Hotels & Resorts.

Among those being honored was the late designer Giorgio Armani, who played a pivotal role in bringing glamour to awards season, film festivals and premieres. Clooney, a longtime friend of Armani, was set to accept the Red Carpet Visionary award on the designer’s behalf at the ceremony.

Last year’s inaugural WWD Style Awards honored Tracee Ellis Ross, Anna Sawai and Wes Gordon, among others.

WWD will return to the Golden Globes red carpet on Jan. 11, when editors, executive editor beauty Jenny
B. Fine and style director Alex Badia, will offer authoritative live coverage of the evening’s fashion and beauty looks alongside host Jeannie Mai. Viewers can tune into the conversation on WWD.com, WWD IG, Youtube, Tiktok and X, the Red Carpet Beauty storefront on Amazon.com/RedCarpetBeauty, and Amazon Live.
