So did a couple of standout men, including Barry Keoghan of 鈥淪altburn鈥� in Louis Vuitton and John Krasinski, who paired his shiny red jacket with purple trousers.

Pugh debuted a brand new mohawk on the carpet.
鈥淪he always delivers an interesting hair look, and this night was no exception. The cool blonde color and 80s-rockstar styling were punk perfection, and paired with her sheer Valentino gown, all eyes were on her this evening,鈥� Hirsch said.

These bright monochromatic looks are also refreshing after Hollywood鈥檚 long history of monochrome, meaning all black.鈥�
