Opera gloves are one of the most popular fashion accessories this season. The concept of these gloves can be traced back to yesteryears when women would go to the opera wearing long gloves in satin, trimmed with feather or bows. Also known as evening gloves, they came in different lengths -— wrist, full-length or till the elbow. When we think of Hollywood, one cannot miss the old Holly charm where a certain Audrey Hepburn rocked a pair of black opera gloves in Breakfast at Tiffanys or Marilyn Monroe oozing glamour wearing opera gloves. Cut to 2022, the trend came back big time as celebs of all age groups strutted the red carpet wearing them at various events. From international stars rocking global award ceremonies and red carpets wearing gloves to the trend seeping into Bollywood, The Telegraph picks some of the best recent looks by some celebs wearing opera gloves in various styles!
