Julia Butters gave Halloween glam a casual twist—ruffled noir top, capri jeans, and heels that said “I’m here for the scares, but make it fashion.”
Julia Butters doesn’t need a costume to command attention. At the September 4, 2025 opening night of Universal Studios’ Halloween Horror Nights in Hollywood, she stepped onto the red carpet with a look that was equal parts laid-back and theatrically sharp—proof that you don’t have to go full vampire to embrace the gothic mood.
Set against a backdrop of crimson-lit cathedral windows and moody shadows, Butters opted for a black ruffled top that brought texture and movement to the frame. The fabric, likely a lightweight crepe or chiffon, featured layered detailing along the neckline and sleeves—dramatic without being overwhelming. Paired with dark blue capri jeans and a belt that cinched the waist just enough, the silhouette felt youthful, modern, and refreshingly unpretentious.
Her accessories were minimal but effective: a delicate necklace that caught the light, and black heels that added polish without sacrificing comfort. The styling leaned into contrast—structured denim against soft ruffles, casual cuts against a theatrical setting. It’s the kind of outfit that doesn’t scream “red carpet,” but rather whispers “I know exactly what I’m doing.”
In a season where horror-themed events often invite over-the-top styling, Butters’ look felt like a masterclass in restraint. It’s a reminder that celebrity fashion doesn’t always need sequins or latex to make an impact—sometimes, a well-cut pair of jeans and a ruffled top are all it takes.
Charlotte Lawrence gave satin its moment at The Bowery Hotel—her burgundy gown and blush heels felt like a fragrance ad come to life (and yes, she held the bottle).
Charlotte Lawrence knows how to dress for a mood—and at the September 3, 2025 launch of Sam Edelman’s new fragrance “Duet,” she embodied it. Held at The Bowery Hotel in New York, the event was a study in soft glamour: dusky pink drapery, moody lighting, and a branded backdrop that whispered luxury with a wink. Lawrence didn’t just attend—she matched the vibe, bottle in hand.
Her look? A sleeveless burgundy satin gown with a high neckline and a daring side slit. The fabric caught the light with every movement, its sheen echoing the polished glass of the fragrance bottle she posed with. The silhouette was sleek but not severe—fluid enough to feel romantic, structured enough to hold its own in a room full of cameras.
She paired the dress with pink high-heeled sandals, a tonal choice that softened the richness of the burgundy and added a playful contrast. Jewelry was minimal, letting the dress and the setting do the talking. The synergy between outfit and event branding was uncanny—almost as if the gown had been poured from the bottle itself.
In a landscape where celebrity fashion often leans maximalist, Lawrence’s look was a reminder that elegance doesn’t need embellishment. It just needs intention—and maybe a really good fragrance.
Ruby Marino leaned into spooky prep at Universal’s Horror Nights—navy corsetry, pleated gray skirt, and loafers that whispered “schoolgirl, but make it haunted.”
Ruby Marino knows how to dress for a theme without losing herself in it. At the September 4, 2025 opening night of Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, she arrived on the red carpet with a look that balanced eerie ambiance and youthful edge—think Wednesday Addams meets downtown cool.
Set against a backdrop of gothic stained glass and blood-red lighting, Marino’s outfit played with contrast and silhouette. She wore a navy blue corset-style top—structured, slightly romantic, and unmistakably modern. The fabric appeared matte, with subtle boning that sculpted the torso without veering into costume territory. Paired with a gray pleated skirt that hit mid-thigh, the ensemble nodded to school uniform tropes but twisted them into something sharper, more cinematic.
Her footwear—a pair of black loafers—grounded the look in classic prep, while also adding a touch of utilitarian polish. No stilettos, no platforms—just clean lines and confident pacing. Accessories were minimal, letting the outfit speak for itself. The absence of jewelry felt deliberate, a styling choice that kept the focus on silhouette and mood.
In a sea of horror-themed excess, Marino’s outfit stood out for its restraint. It didn’t scream Halloween—it whispered it. And that whisper was far more stylish. Her look fits seamlessly into the evolving archive of celebrity styl e, where genre dressing meets editorial finesse.
