Tribeca 2026: The looks that worked and the ones that didn't

Fashion was everywhere at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival. Stars like Katy Perry, Keke Palmer, and Colman Domingo were there in eye-catching looks.

If you were locked into the NBA Finals over the weekend, you might have missed another big event in New York City. The Tribeca Film Festival was underway in Manhattan, drawing a mix of Hollywood names and indie-film regulars. The red carpets delivered a full spectrum of style choices – some sharp, some head-scratchers.

Perry arrived in a metallic mini-dress with oversized shoulders, a look that split opinions. Palmer went the opposite direction: a tailored cream pantsuit with no jewelry, clean and understated. Domingo wore a deep burgundy velvet jacket over a black turtleneck, a combination that read as classic without being boring.

A few outfits missed the mark. One actor paired a neon green tracksuit with formal loafers, a clash that drew more attention than the film they were promoting. Another went full avant-garde in a sculptural piece that looked better on the hanger than in motion.

The festival runs through June 18. More red-carpet arrivals are expected as the week continues.
