The First and Final Red Carpet of These Beloved Celebrities

by

#35: Prince

First Red Carpet: 1985
Last Red Carpet: 2015

Prince’s first major red carpet moment came in 1985 at the Academy Awards, where he appeared during the height of Purple Rain’s success. Already a cultural phenomenon, his arrival cemented his status as a music and style icon, blending rock star charisma with his signature flair for boundary-pushing fashion.

His final red carpet in 2015, at a Grammy-related event, showcased a more reserved yet still unmistakably “Prince” look. By then, he was a living legend—revered for decades of artistry, innovation, and defying industry norms. His presence alone carried the weight of a career that transformed music and culture.
