New Updates   Updated 1m ago Cosmopolitan editor discusses what celebrities might wear A senior fashion editor at Cosmopolitan said celebrities' outfits could vary vastly as they take on their own interpretations of this year's theme. Jessica Neises said some could lean into the "body and fitted silhouettes," meaning bodycon dresses. Some stars could also tap into the art side."Maybe the garment itself is a beautiful piece of art with embroidery or different beading," she said. Neises said she thinks there will be a lot of color and vibrancy on the red carpet."Tonight is not about being quiet with the fashion.
