It used to be that we had to wait for the Oscars, Golden Globes and Emmys to get our red carpet fashion fix, but now it seems that nary a day goes by without an awards show, store opening, new collaboration fete, capsule collection celebration, movie premiere, or some other reason to roll out a red carpet and watch dolled-up celebrities make the interview rounds. Standing out in the sea of celebrities and making a memorable impact in the parade of events is no easy feat, but here are 10 of the year’s most memorable red carpet moments.*
1. Katy Perry at the 2010 Met Gala in Cute Circuit
2. Lady Gaga at the 2010 MTV Awards in a custom meat dress
3. Christina Hendricks at the 2010 Golden Globes in Christian Siriano
4. Alexa Chung at the 2010 CFDA Awards in Marc Jacobs
