At Moschino, Jeremy Scott Brought a Sense of Humor to the Red Carpet

It’s the end of an era: This morning, designer Jeremy Scott announced that he will be ending his 10-year run as the artistic director of Moschino. While leading the charge for the Italian fashion house, Scott has infused Moschino with his energetic spirit and sense of humor. His runway shows were always guaranteed to be colorful, playful, and fun—a reminder that fashion shouldn’t be so serious. Nowhere was this more apparent on the red carpet. Scott has dressed some of the biggest celebrities of the decade in his cheeky, whimsical designs. And in honor of the news, Vogue is looking back at some of Scott’s very best red carpet moments.

It didn’t take long for A-listers to begin working with Scott after he joined the house in 2013. One of the designer’s earliest muses was Katy Perry. The pop star famously wore four different Moschino looks for her 2015 Super Bowl halftime performance—the costumes including a beach ball-inspired dress, a flame dress, and a bejeweled sports jersey. Perry has also worn Scott’s Moschino to the Met Gala on multiple occasions—most famously in 2019, when she wore his chandelier dress on the red carpet (it even lit up!) and a wearable hamburger at the after-party. Deliciously fun.

Scott’s Moschino has proven to be a consistent standout at the Met Gala overall. There was no better designer for the 2019 “Camp” theme than Scott. He created a Barbie pink moto dress for Kacey Musgraves, and a black gown with a golden picture frame surrounding her face for Tracee Ellis Ross. A year prior, for the 2018 “Heavenly Bodies” theme, he dressed Cardi B in an ornate gown that was embellished with pearls and gems—delivering the best maternity moment of the evening, no doubt.

Musicians in particular have been drawn to Scott’s Moschino designs—perhaps because performers are all about the drama and theatricality. Lizzo always does his garments justice. Her best Moschino moment was at the 2020 Brit Awards, when she showed up in a frock that mimicked a Hershey's candy wrapper. Irreverent and smile-inducing, it exemplified Scott’s work. Now that Moschino’s got an open slot to fill, one can only hope that whichever designer steps into his shoes will be just as down for a laugh.
