This starlet is garbed in an alluring [strapless Givenchy frock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-x-azazie) that combines old [Hollywood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/austin-butler) glam with a cheerleader’s cheering instrument. I really like the fact that half of her dress looks like it’s getting swallowed by enormous [frilly pompoms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Anna-Suis-SpringSummer-2025), as it adds a bit of fun and youth to the dress overall. Furthermore, if Zoe needs to cheer for any of winners, her dress has got her covered! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Pompom Fashion:** Pompom embellishments are becoming a popular trend in the fashion industry, offering a playful and youthful aesthetic. - **Old Hollywood Glam:** The old Hollywood glam style is making a comeback in the fashion industry, merging timeless elegance with modern design elements. - **Celebrity Fashion Influence:** Celebrity red carpet looks, such as Zoe Saldana's Oscar gown, continue to inspire and shape fashion trends. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** The fashion industry can incorporate pompom embellishments into their designs to create unique and eye-catching garments. - **Textile Manufacturing:** The manufacturing industry can explore new materials and techniques to produce pompoms for fashion designers and other applications. - **Event Planning:** Event planners can draw inspiration from the old Hollywood glam style and incorporate it into their event designs, creating a sophisticated and memorable atmosphere. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Bespoke Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pandora-the-fashion-awards-2025.md) - [Dairytale Bridal Tributes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disney-wedding-dresses-1.md) - [Modern High-Fashion Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terani-couture.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Celebrity Sister Capsule Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/geox.md) - [Influencer-Created Bridesmaid Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bridesmaid-dress.md) - [Inclusive Prom Dress Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prom-collection.md) - [Actress-Backed Sensory Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zip-zap-zoop.md)
