Gen Z Celebs Are Taking Red Carpet Fashion To Heights Millennials Could Only Dream Of, And These 35 Looks Prove It

    Zendaya's 2019 Met Gala look though. 👀

    When it comes to iconic red carpet fashion, the boomers have Dolly Parton...

    "Jolene" singer

    Gen X has Björk and her iconic swan outfit...

    "Army of Me" singer

    And milennials have Rihanna, Ariana Grande, and, of course, Ashley Tisdale.

    "Umbrella" singer, "Thank U Next" singer, and "High School Musical" actor

    Obviously, celebs' approach to their red carpet looks has evolved through the generations, and the famous Gen Z'ers definitely didn't come to play.
