These Were the Sexiest Red Carpet Looks of 2019 - Hands Down

Each year brings its own wave of sultry red carpet ensembles, and when it comes to 2019, celebrities and their stylists certainly didn't do things by half. That being said, this year's sexiest red carpet looks weren't exactly what we had expected. Instead, they were fresh, modern, and, surprisingly, more demure than ever.

Perhaps a sign of things to come as this decade draws to a close, this year's hottest looks came with longer sleeves, fuller skirts, and décolletés that weren't necessarily any riskier than what we've become used to. Chic lingerie-inspired ensembles replaced the naked dress trend that once reigned over the red carpet, thigh-high slits remained a firm favorite, and interesting necklines proved, once and for all, that modest can also be incredibly sexy. And as for the sexiest color of the year? Black was it, and it's easy to see why.

From what Jennifer Lopez wore to the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty to Jorja Smith's sexy take on the Disney princess gown and Gigi Hadid's beautiful column dress, read on to take a closer look at the sexiest red carpet looks of 2019. But fair warning: these outfits are so damn hot, they might actually steam up your screen.

Bad Hair Day or Not, We Need Kate Middleton's Zara Headband For the Holidays

When Kate Middleton stepped out for the Festival of Remembrance alongside the rest of the royal family, she stood out because of one small detail: her sparkly padded headband from Zara. Now, I can hardly imagine Kate Middleton walking into Zara and selecting this hair accessory herself, but at some point in time, she must've scanned the site - that or she's just well versed in this year's holiday trends.

Kate Middleton rarely has bad hair days, as far as we're concerned, but this is the exact type of piece we'd like to have on hand if we were suffering through one ourselves during the holiday season. Slip it on with your LBD (the designer of Kate's midnight navy iteration is unknown), and you're good to go.

Kate finished her own outfit with velvet Jimmy Choo pumps and the queen's pearl drop earrings, which she's worn before. Her Alexander McQueen clutch helped her to easily pull off navy and black shades, and her sapphire engagement ring added a touch more shine. While Kate's bead-adorned headband did momentarily sell out, Zara has restocked the item quickly enough. Keep reading to zoom in on the design, then scoop it up for yourself or shop a similar option.



14 Dress Brands I Shop at Revolve Because They Flatter My Small Chest

As a woman with a small chest, I take delight in the fact that I can pull off the bra-less look from time to time (depending on the moment and the material I'm wearing). I live for the evenings I get to slip into a design with an open back or something strappy without having to worry about things bunching up top or having to adjust my underwire. Sometimes it's so satisfying to put on a bold, complicated silhouette with a lot going on and actually feel comfortable. If you're trying to make that fashion move this holiday season with a statement dress or a going out top appropriate for New Year's Eve, Revolve is the place to shop.

Because the online retailer amasses an incredible amount of designers, all of which range in price point and style, you've got plenty of options that will flatter your figure and boost your confidence. I took the liberty of rounding up the brands that have become my go-to when browsing the site, mostly for the way I feel when I'm wearing them. There are those labels made for the bohemian girl, like Tularosa and House of Harlow 1960, and others known for structure and edge, like Grlfrnd and LPA. Check out the full list of brands that I've had success with ahead, and read up on the key reasons why.
