From meat dresses to glowing gowns, here's the history of the red carpet and its fashion
By Phelokazi Mbude - W24
In the play Agamemnon, penned by Greek tragedy writer Aeschylus, the story's hero comes back from Troy and his wife Clytemnestra offers him a crimson path to walk on. He responds that such a luxury is only for the gods.
Throughout history, red carpets were used for important occasions but the trend kicked off in Hollywood with the premiere of Robin Hood in 1922 at the Egyptian theatre when Sid Grauman had the stars walk on one.

Should Formula One consider a return to refuelling?
Braam Peens - Wheels24
Last year, F1 touted the re-introduction of refuelling in the hope of creating more on-track excitement.
At the race start, an F1 car carries 105kg of fuel. A two-stop refuelling strategy halves that load to 52.5kg; and three stops to 26.25kg, with associated savings of lap times and tyre wear over an upwardly curving scale.
But flat-out sprinting also showcases the drawbacks of refuelling, in that the race becomes a series of qualifying-style time trials, split into halves or thirds and fought against the stopwatch instead of competitors on track.
