Over the last few years, we've seen numerous trends taking centre stage on major red carpets—from the naked dress and the skin-baring silhouette to corsets. Some of these trends have had their one-hot minute of fame and fade away while some are here for the long haul. Today, we're here to celebrate a trend that belongs to the latter category—hooded gowns.

Are you ready for a history lesson? In 1969, Yves Saint Laurent introduced a hooded gown on its runway. It was popularised once more in the 80s when Azzedine Alaïa crafted a custom-made outfit for Grace Jones in A View To Kill. The capuche silhouette became her signature style throughout the movie. Jones also walked for the designer’s couture show in a hooded gown. That's when the style gained iconic status. And now, these gowns have resurfaced as the biggest fall trend of 2023 and we aren't complaining.

From Bella Hadid's Schiaparelli hooded gown to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's must talked about Cannes outfit by Label Sophie Couture, scroll down to see the celebrities who wore this trend just right.
