At the Japan premiere of Ballerina, Ana de Armas debuts a custom Louis Vuitton gown, fusing a futuristic bodice with a dramatic, flowing silhouette.
Just when I thought the Ballerina press tour had taken its final bow, Ana de Armas made a surprise appearance in Tokyo for the film’s premiere at Roppongi Hills—and, darling, what a final act it was. This is the very essence of a modern-day cinematic premiere, non? It’s not just a screening; it’s a global fashion statement. And Ana, as the quintessential Louis Vuitton ambassador, is a master of this new game. In fact, one could argue she’s setting the record for the most bespoke looks by a brand ambassador, surpassing even longtime faces like Emma Stone and Jennifer Connelly.
Ana has been playing with a range of silhouettes throughout this press tour—that moment in Paris was a total mood—and she kept the momentum going in Tokyo. This time, she floated down the red carpet in a sheer black floor-length Louis Vuitton gown. But the real magic? The contrast. A sculptural, silver crystal-embellished bodice gave the look a sharp, futuristic edge, a piece of armor for a modern warrior. And yet, the contrast between this fierce bodice and the soft, ethereal silhouette of the sheer gown worked beautifully, a true ode to the duality of strength and vulnerability. Flowing sleeves and gentle draping added a romantic, almost celestial feel, while the meticulous embellishments were a clear showcase of Louis Vuitton’s savoir-faire, that impeccable craftsmanship I so adore.
It’s moody, mysterious, and a pitch-perfect nod to the film’s noir-action vibe. A sleek, center-parted hairstyle and minimal accessories gave the look room to breathe, letting the gown, and Ana herself, have the final word.
Get The Look: The Ballerina’s Blade
Want to channel Ana de Armas’s Tokyo premiere style? Here’s the listicle, my darlings, a little lesson in blending the ethereal with the electric.
- Embrace The Sheer: Find a sheer black maxi dress or skirt. The key is in the layering—think a simple black slip or bodysuit underneath to keep it chic, not chaotic.
- The Metal Moment: Look for a top or statement piece with metallic, textured embellishments. It doesn’t need to be custom LV; think silver sequins, a crystal-mesh bustier, or even an architectural belt to cinch the waist.
- The Minimalist’s Mantra: Keep accessories to an absolute minimum. A delicate earring, a single ring. The dress, in this case, is the only jewelry you need, non?
- Sleek and Simple: A center-parted, polished hairstyle is your best friend. It provides the clean canvas that allows a dramatic gown to truly shine.
So, in the ever-evolving world of celebrity fashion, this much is clear: Ana de Armas isn’t just attending premieres, she’s curating her own narrative. What are your thoughts on her consistent custom Louis Vuitton choices for this press tour? Do you think her influence will inspire other ambassadors to follow suit, or is this a unique moment in fashion history? We’d love to hear your perspective!
Margot Robbie channels timeless Hollywood glamour at Cara Delevingne’s 32nd birthday party, proving the power of a perfect pair of tuxedo trousers and sky-high platforms.
Happy 32nd birthday to Cara Delevingne, non? The British model and our forever-muse celebrated her milestone in Los Angeles, at the iconic Bar Marmont. It was a private affair, of course, but the guest list… well, that was anything but low-key. A truly A-list crowd turned out—Selena Gomez, Colman Domingo, and Paris Hilton were all there. But the one who caught my eye, the one who truly understood the assignment? Margot Robbie.
While the birthday girl herself chose a private entrance (a smart move, really), the other stars opted for the obligatory paparazzi walk-in. And what a show it was! The unofficial dress code was, it seems, “Hollywood glamour,” and many guests followed suit.
Margot Robbie, in her black and white ensemble, was the epitome of classic elegance. She paired a silky tank top with high-waisted tuxedo trousers—a beautiful nod to classic masculine tailoring, but rendered so femininely. This is the kind of chic I live for. It’s not about being loud; it’s about a sharp silhouette and a subtle confidence. And those platforms? Absolutely essential. They give the look a modern lift, an effortless swagger that feels so… L.A. And yes, a few attendees took a risk. Julia Fox in her Willy Chavarria x Adidas and Paris Jackson wearing a crisp white shirt as a dress—a little messy, a little Y2K. It’s a good contrast, but Margot’s look… it will live forever.
Get The Look: The Tuxedo Trousers
- The Trousers: Invest in a great pair of high-waisted black tuxedo trousers. Look for a clean, sharp line down the leg.
- The Top: Pair them with something delicate. A simple silk camisole or a fine-knit top in a contrasting color, like white.
- The Shoe: Sky-high platforms are non-negotiable. They elongate the leg and make a powerful statement.
- The Vibe: Keep accessories minimal. A small clutch, perhaps. The confidence comes from the tailoring, not from the jewelry.
Margot Robbie has, for all intents and purposes, made a strong case for the return of tailored evening wear. But what do you think? Are these classic silhouettes the future of red carpet style, or is the rebellious, grunge-inspired look more a reflection of where we’re headed? We’d love to hear your perspective!
