Walking on the red carpet is as glamourous as it gets, it symbolizes high status, style, and luxury. It is the main focus of today's gala events, awards ceremonies, and premieres. Thousands of photos from these events are posted online, and celebrities are either praised or ridiculed for their chosen outfit of the night.
The earliest known incarnation the red carpet was intended for gods and not ordinary folk. In ancient Greece, a path of dark red tapestries was rolled out by the King's vengeful wife Clytemnestra as a welcome after his triumph in the Trojan war. The King hesitates to step on it because it is only meant for gods, then perishes after setting foot on it.
Today, the red carpet is a way for celebrities to make a grand entrance, dress boldly in a peacockish manner and even be a little provocative if they wish to. Not all red carpet appearances have gone smoothly and some are still remembered to this day despite occurring years and years ago.
A celebrity's very first red carpet appearance is something that they remember their whole life. It marks the start of a new life of prestige and fame. Scroll down and check out these celebs' first and last red carpet appearances.
