Wes Gordon and the modern elegance of Carolina Herrera in Hollywood

Wes Gordon takes the modern elegance of Carolina Herrera to new heights, conquering red carpets and captivating Hollywood stars.

Wes Gordon, creative director of Carolina Herrera, has redefined classic elegance with a modern approach that dazzles on Hollywood’s red carpets. With vibrant and meticulously crafted designs, his creations have captured the attention of stars such as Cynthia Erivo, Selena Gomez, and Demi Moore, particularly during the 2025 awards season.

Growing up in Atlanta during the 1990s, Gordon dreamt of the glamour he saw on award show red carpets. Inspired by iconic moments such as Julia Roberts in vintage Valentino and Renée Zellweger in Herrera, his influences also include chic films like ‘The Great Gatsby‘ and ‘The Thomas Crown Affair’.

From his first design for Anne Hathaway in 2014 to recent collaborations with Beyoncé and Shakira, Gordon relishes the challenge of creating bespoke pieces. “It’s a collaborative process that sparks another creative dimension”, he remarks.

In 2024, Carolina Herrera had a standout evening at the Academy Museum Gala, with six actresses wearing the brand. For Gordon, these moments are as thrilling as they are unexpected. “It’s always a surprise and an honour”.

With the awards season in full swing, Gordon promises more dazzling moments that will solidify Herrera’s position as a global fashion icon.
