What skills do red carpet fashion writers actually use in reports?

I love watching the big award shows, and I always see those detailed red carpet fashion breakdown articles pop up the next day. They analyze every stitch and brand collaboration. I'm curious—do the people who write these actually have formal training in fashion design or history, or is it more about having a good eye and knowing the stylists and designers? How does someone even get into that niche of entertainment writing?
