Never one to shy from theatricality, Gwendoline Christie fused vintage romance with surrealist flair in a satin-laced look that felt part Hitchcock heroine, part cyber duchess.
Gwendoline Christie doesn’t just wear fashion—she weaponizes it. At the September 8 premiere of One Battle After Another in Hollywood, Christie stepped onto the red carpet with a look that felt like a cinematic hallucination: part 1940s screen siren, part postmodern dream. And yes, she made a payphone look like a prop from a Wes Anderson fever dream.
Christie wore a light blue satin dress that shimmered like moonlight on chrome. The fabric—fluid, reflective, and unapologetically luxe—was cut into a knee-length silhouette with long sleeves and a deep V-neckline trimmed in delicate lace. The waist was cinched with a matching tie, creating a soft hourglass shape that balanced structure with ease. The lace detailing added a whisper of boudoir nostalgia, while the satin’s sheen gave the look a futuristic edge. It was a dress that didn’t just move—it glowed.
She paired the dress with pointed white high heels, a choice that felt both bridal and Blade Runner. Jewelry was minimal or absent, allowing the interplay of satin and lace to dominate. The look didn’t need sparkle—it had atmosphere. And the vintage payphone she posed with? Accidental accessory or deliberate styling cue—it worked.
