Editor's note
A trend report by AI vision
Black dominated 45% of looks. Wool led the fabric vote with 38 mentions, and the carpet read matte over glossy — embellishment used as punctuation, not statement.
Every press photo from the Kristallen 2026 red carpet was read by a multimodal vision model. What follows is a countable, photographic account of what the night actually wore.
