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.
