Naomi Campbell And Iman Are Giving This Red Carpet Trend Life

The iconic supermodels have us smitten with capes all over again

Last month Naomi Campbell, attending the 2016 Princess Grace Awards Gala in New York, donned a Ralph & Russo racer-neck gown with a billowing cape trailing from a single shoulder. Just a day later, fellow supermodel Iman took to the stage of the Save the Children Illumination gala in a polka-dot cape and gown ensemble by Duro Olowu- evidence that great minds really do think alike. It appears as though the red carpet cape, after a period of over-exposure, is firmly back in fashion’s good graces. Check out some of the trend's most memorable examples in our gallery.
