Red Carpet Moms Looking Better Than Their Dates
Red carpets are always full of glamour, elegant celebrities, and a few weird outfits. Entire shows are devoted to analyzing red carpet fashion before the big event, and the artists usually talk about the process of picking their outfits, the designers who made them, and more. But all of that goes away in an instant if there's someone's mom on the red carpet.
All attention turns to them, and everyone makes sure they're shining under the right light. Not many celebrities like to share these moments with their families, but when they do, everyone locks in.
