Brie Larson In Vintage Christian Lacroix

W Magazine

 

Larson stepped out to the Producers Guild Awards in Los Angeles wearing a mermaid gown from Christian Lacroix’s fall 2004 couture collection. Her dress, sourced from Shrimpton Couture and styled by Samantha McMillen, featured a bold coral color way that was topped off with the perfect accent of a blinged-out black bow near the bodice. The strapless silhouette was punctuated by hyper-feminine draped detailing and a layered pouf skirt that commanded the perfect amount of attention as the actress moved about on the step and repeat. This Awards Season has seen stars approach the red carpet, mainly, in one of two ways: they will either opt for some off-the-runway look (sometimes, even pre-runway) or, like in the case of Larson, pull out some ultra-rare catwalk gem from decades past.

 

The actress let her candy-colored mermaid gown shine here, opting for a matching coral lip, elegant updo, and a selection of jewels from Briony Raymond.

 

While Lacroix quickly became a favorite amongst Parisian fashion heads for his dreamy designs and pattern-heavy concoctions (perhaps only rivaled by John Galliano’s Dior), the designer’s eponymous couture label shuttered five years after this 2004 spectacle—making Larson’s red carpet moment on Sunday all that more special.

Brie looks much better in her version than the first model.

I'm not sure about the black bow but the dress, nevertheless, looks lovely on her and a huge improvement on her than in the runway shot.

Re: Brie Larson In Vintage Christian Lacroix

I don't like the black bow at all.  It looks like someone found it lying on a table and last minute put some tape on the back of it and slapped it on the dress, but she looks good in the dress..


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

The black bow doesn't flatter the dress at all.  However, I do like the dress, the color and style are perfect for Brie .

I like Emily Blunt's dress much better.

Agree with others about the black bow. It doesn’t do the dress any favors. She’s very pretty though.

Re: Brie Larson In Vintage Christian Lacroix

I love the dress and red is one of my favorite colors. The black bow is OK since her jewelry is very minimal.
