The cultural moments that was defined

This 12 months one of the world's favored singers and all-round-show woman Ce line Dion made one in all fashion's maximum exclusive events just that rather more accessible. Famous for her dedication to memorable fashion choices -- notably a Dior white backwards blazer on the 1999 Oscars, a look she rebooted this year in tan with a splash of dayglo orange  Dion proved that even a woman from small-city Quebec could make Paris Couture her spiritual home. And she delivered the relaxation people in conjunction with her. Mixing and matching in a luxurious thrift-save spirit, Dion attended suggests in the entirety from a Maison Margiela leisurewear-prom-get dressed and ski-blazer ensemble, to a laser-reduce cybergown by means of Iris Van Herpen, to an 80s-graffiti-tagged mini-get dressed by Virgil Abloh's Off White. This yr LA-born Billie Eilish Pirate Baird O'Connell drew the blueprint for how to be an empowered teen girl pop big name in a post-#Me Too world -- making male-gaze fantasies a l. A. Britney's schoolgirl outfit appear like the remote past. First grabbing attention for a tune she uploaded to Sound Cloud in 2015 -- she was sharing "Ocean Eyes," a piece of homework, with a teacher -- Eilish dropped her eponymous debut album in March this yr. Immediately we had been buzzing infectious single "Bad Guy," even as Eilish dazzled competition crowds, received industry kudos and got nominated for all of the so-called "Big Four" at the Grammys (album, music and record of the year, and great new artist) -- the youngest character ever to do so. She announced a new world tour this September (even as already on a world tour), and closed the yr with an appearance on James Corden's "Carpool Karaoke." At every opportunity, Eilish glared out at the arena along with her teenage power squint and baggy post-emo gamer chic. Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, Writing for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Comedy Series -- British triple danger Phoebe Waller-Bridge took home a haul on the Emmys in September for her show "Fleabag." While ladies TV screenwriters have gotten extra exposure in current years, which include Jenji Kohan ("Orange is the New Black") and Shonda Rhimes ("How To Get Away with Murder"), they account for more or less 28% of those working of their field within the UK and around 33% in the US. Waller-Bridge's win was a watershed moment. On top of that, an Instagram photo displaying her basking in her win went viral. The superstar became captured reclining elegantly together with her awards, a cocktail in a single hand and a cigarette in another, her 50s-style lace dress and loose curls accentuating the old-time glamour of this very present day moment. We'd be remiss not to mention Billy Porter's tuxedo gown, which changed into not simplest a velvet sartorial dream, but also a robust statement about gender freedom. Calling it a "walking piece of political art," the "Pose" big name nailed his front to the Oscars in February, and landed on our listing of 2019's exceptional purple carpet
