Opera Gloves are celebrities' favourite accessory for winter Functional and fancy, these gloves are a night out staple

Gigi Hadid’s outfit at Met Gala 2021 would not have been the same without that fateful pair of silk gloves in the Prada outfit. A sophisticated and avant-garde accessory with an echo from the past, the opera gloves are a trend of Fall/Winter worn on red carpets and catwalks preferred by celebrities and their stylists in silk, leather, nylon, colored mesh and many glitter patterns. It is rare that a widespread trend in the '50s comes back in vogue when digital fashion and the metaverse have an increasingly powerful echo towards the Gen-Z. Is it a nostalgia rogue? Perhaps, as in all the historical moments of recovery, a look at the past is the reassuring solution to go towards the future, even if the direction of trends follows a much more futuristic path. Looking at the past or not, the opera gloves are a fancy element that makes the difference in an evening outfit, and combines functional use that protects from the cold to a diva allure able to elevate every look.
