Wednesday 28 September 2022 08:14 AM Brooke Shields, Sigourney Weaver and Molly Ringwald lead star-studded red ... trends now

A slew of stars including Brooke Shields, Sigourney Weaver and Molly Ringwald lit up the red carpet at the Metropolitan Opera's latest opening this Tuesday.

Acclaimed soprano Sondra Radvanovsky is playing the title role in a production of the 18th century opera Medea by Luigi Cherubini.

Brooke, 57, emphasized her sleek frame in a strapless black jumpsuit with a diamond-shaped pin, accessorizing with a matching clutch.

She lent a splash of sparkle to the ensemble with a pair of gleaming bejeweled bracelets and a set of hoop earrings.

Sweeping her silky locks back with a pair of sunglasses pulled up over her head, she accentuated her features with a slick of scarlet lipstick.

Another 1970s screen queen to grace the red carpet was Alien star Sigourney Weaver, who cut an autumnal figure in red and black.

She draped herself in a shimmering scarlet coat with black floral embroidery over a basic black ensemble that plunged to betray a trace of cleavage.

Clasping on a subtle gold necklace to add just a hint of glitz, she rounded off the look with a black bag and matching shoes.

Molly Ringwald, who was one of the reigning movie stars of the 1980s, brought back the decade's distinctive sense of style with massive feathery epaulets.

She wore the curly red bob her fans remember and slid her still enviably slender frame into a black gown that emphasized her petite figure.

English model Sophie Sumner exuded Old Hollywood glamour in a floor-length silver sequined gown with a set of white tulle capes.
