Our Favourite Film-Inspired Outfits to Grace the Red Carpet
There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a celebrity show up to the red carpet with a look that references the movie they’re promoting. Here are our favourite film-inspired outfits, from Zoë Kravitz’s recent Catwoman ensemble to Zendaya’s spider-themed gown.
It’s always exciting to see what great designers and fashion can do with the right inspiration, especially when it comes to the arts and pop culture. Earlier this month, Zoë Kravitz showed up to the premiere of ‘The Batman’ in a Catwoman-inspired fit that had the Internet buzzing in delight, which prompted us to take a look at all of our favourite past film-inspired ensembles to grace the red carpet over the years.
Zoë Kravitz at 'The Batman' Premiere
Channelling her inner Catwoman at the New York premiere of ‘The Batman’ (this year’s hottest movie), Kravitz turned up in a custom chic black Oscar de la Renta gown with a tastefully laced-up cat-silhouetted bodice. A playful introduction to Kravitz’s character in the highly-raved about film.
Zendaya at the 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Premiere
Zendaya is always one to be experimental with her red carpet looks. In December of 2021, the ‘Euphoria’ star came decked out in a slinky spiderweb-themed Valentino gown, accompanied by a black, shimmery webbed mask for the ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ premiere in Los Angeles.
Carrie-Anne Moss at 'The Matrix: Resurrections' Premiere
To honour the futuristic world of the cult-favourite film ‘The Matrix’, Carrie-Anne Moss complemented the film’s green carpet with her black chiffon and green and silver sequined Oscar de la Renta gown for its US premiere.
Scarlett Johansson at the 'Avengers: Endgame' World Premiere
By far one of the most talked-about looks at the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ premiere was Scarlett Johansson’s shimmery ensemble, made elaborate with her Infinity Gauntlet-inspired bracelet – a gift from her husband Colin Jost. The handpiece was so popular amongst fans that many have since tried their hand at DIY-ing their own renditions of the bracelet.
Angelina Jolie at the 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil' Premiere
To match her “evil” vibe in the film, Angelina Jolie showed up to the premiere in a sequined black gown, accessorised with a 50-ct diamond and glitzy scorpion brooch. A villainous touch that was much appreciated by fans as she strutted down the red carpet for photos.
Lily James at the 'Cinderella' Premiere
Much like the princess herself, Lily James came decked out in a gorgeous silver Elie Saab gown that had her sparkling on the red carpet. The actress also accentuated the look with her own rendition of the iconic glass slipper – in the form of none other than Jimmy Choo’s, of course.
Cara Delevingne at the 'Valerian' Premiere
Modern meets futuristic with Cara Delevingne silver number for the premiere of ‘Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets’. The almost see-through fitted Iris van Herpen gown rivals that of intergalactic armour, a nod to the themes of the film.
Elle Fanning at the 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil' Premiere
Much like Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning also turned up to the ‘Maleficent: Mistress of Evil’ premiere in a gown that references her character. The olive Gucci number was adorned with floral accessories that flowed across her bodice, back and even down her hair.
Keira Knightley at 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms' Premiere
Dressed in a cutesy Chanel SS05 ensemble was Keira Knightley for the London premiere of 'The Nutcracker and the Four Realms'. The look was made sweeter with a pastel pink bow tied across her back, complemented with her hair put up in a neat low bun.
Jennifer Lawrence at the 'Mother!' Premiere
To match her poster for ‘Mother!’, Jennifer Lawrence graced the red carpet in an elegant white gown designed by Dior. The actress completed the look by having her hair in a stylish up-do, leaving neat tendrils to frame her face.
