Move over ’90s and Y2K fashion, musicians have been flocking to a new style trend that’ll turn your outfits into an elegant statement. On and off the red carpet artists have been spotted wearing sheer tulle gloves with their outfits including Ariana Grand, Beyoncé and Olivia Rodrigo (to name a few).

The look isn’t anything new either and can be traced back to the 17th century to protect women’s hands and arms from the sunlight as well as being used for sports, according to glove brand Cornelia James. Over time, it was increasingly worn to complete evening wear outfits — think Bridgerton‘s ball scenes. Now, artists are bringing the accessory back into mainstream fashion with Grande sporting the look on various occasions like the 2024 Met Gala, her additional album cover for Eternal Sunshine and the 2019 Grammy’s.

Trending on Billboard

Beyoncé even gave the simple accessory her stamp of approval when she attended Glamour‘s 2024 Women of the Year award. The 43-year-old star even showed off her complete look that combined trends: sheer gloves and the soft butter yellow shade, which can be seen in her Instagram post from Oct. 10.

The celeb-loved product has even caught the attention of Gen Z stars like Rodrigo as she finished her 2023 Met Gala look with a pair of soft purple tulle gloves.

Incorporating the look into your own style isn’t complicated either — you can use it as a layering piece under long sleeves of jackets to bring a more elevated touch to your outfits. For more fancier events, a long pair of gloves can elongate your arms while bringing an even more luxurious energy to your outfit.
