I’m looking forward to adding more material to the dragons in fashion category here on this blog as and when.
While I don’t have a huge wardrobe at home, I’ve always enjoyed artistry in fashion design. It’s always a visual treat to spot dragon designs on the red carpet!
Most of the designs I’ve seen have a powerful/fierce energy where the celebrity looks happy to don the outfit.
In this post, I’ve collected some pictures of Taylor Swift, J.Lo, Fan Bingbing, and other stars in their dragon couture.
P.S. Most of the images here are courtesy of the amazing Getty Images.
Taylor Swift in Dragon Dress
Superstar Taylor Swift shows how dragons will always be in style in this Roberto Cavalli Atelier gown during the Brit Awards in 2015. You get the full effect of the design from the back.
Jennifer Lopez in Dragon Dress
Here’s J.Lo in an Atelier Versace gown at the 2015 Met Gala. I love the colors, matching hues of the makeup, and how the design twists around her curves. Some blog posts suggested that she should’ve worn her hair up, but I don’t mind this look at all.
Elisabeth Moss in Silver / Black Dragon Dress
Elisabeth Moss wore a lovely 3D velvet architectural dress by Balmain at the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards.
Michael Jackson at The World Music Awards 2000
MJ had tons of tailored and memorable jackets. Michael Bush was his wardrobe designer and dresser for 25 years.
Please also see Michael Jackson and Dragons where I gathered a few more pictures of The King of Pop/Dance/Music in dragon wear.
Fan Bingbing in Yellow Dragon Dress
Here’s a royal dragon robe designed by Laurence Xu!
This was designed for Fan Bingbing’s appearance at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival in 2010.Ā Laurence combines brightly colored dresses with Western silhouettes and Chinese motifs.
Below is a Fan Bingbing doll by Mattel in a recreation of this dress.

Now that’s a bag with class and pizzazz.
Gucci Baby Dragon – Milan Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2018/19
I remember this when it first came out as it was unusual to see on a runway. Extra heads were also sent down the runway in the same show.
