The Golden Globes sparked another wave of red carpet controversies this year, but not for the usual reasons. This time, it wasn't about who wore what designer—it was about who wore AI-assisted styling.
For those who missed it, at least three major celebrities admitted post-show that their stylist teams used AI tools to generate outfit concepts and color palettes. The backlash was immediate. Fashion purists cried foul, claiming it cheapens the artistry. Others pointed out that mood boards and digital rendering tools have been standard practice for years—this is just the next iteration.
Here's where I land: The outrage feels selective. We don't bat an eye when films use CGI to create entire worlds, or when musicians layer auto-tune into Grammy-winning tracks. But suggest an AI helped decide between emerald green and sapphire blue for a gown, and suddenly it's an affront to creativity?
