Vanessa Kirby—radiant and unbothered—made pregnancy look like powerplay couture in sheer Alaïa and velvet cutouts at Berlin’s Fantastic Four fan event.
There are red carpets, and then there are blue ones—Marvel-blue, no less—where style rules get rewritten under superhero spotlights. At Berlin’s Fantastic Four: First Steps fan event on July 8, 2025, Vanessa Kirby delivered a fashion moment that married maternal strength with architectural precision.
Wearing a sculptural look from Alaïa’s Fall 2024 collection, Kirby chose elegance with an edge. The ensemble—anchored by a velvet band skirt and sheer wool bodysuit—reimagined maternity wear not as demure, but as daring. The high-neck silhouette skimmed her form like a shadow, while sheer panelling gave a subtle reveal of her growing baby bump. It was a look that dared you to look closer—sleek, graphic, confident.
On her feet: Manolo Blahnik’s Priscahipla stilettos in black satin, adding a clean line of lift to the otherwise grounded palette. For jewelry, Kirby chose Cartier’s Reflection de Cartier collection—minimalist geometry rendered in white gold and diamonds. A mirrored ring on each hand. Earrings that shimmered with restraint.
The entire look was styled to let structure speak. Hair fell in soft, brushed waves—Old Hollywood with a chill filter. Her makeup stayed in the noir family: smoky lids, brushed brows, and a rose-nude lip that didn’t ask for attention but held it anyway.
Culturally, it felt like a quiet rebellion. While superhero premieres often lean toward glitz or full cosplay, Kirby’s choice tapped into a rising wave of cerebral fashion—pregnancy as presence, not disguise. The Alaïa, with its architectural exactness and subtle provocation, whispered of Grace Jones and 1990s Helmut Lang in the same breath.
And then there was the posture—one hand resting gently on her bump, eyes locked forward. A look not of softness but clarity. She’s not playing Sue Storm yet. But in that moment, she looked every bit the Invisible Woman in command of her own narrative.
So—are we seeing the next evolution of red carpet maternity, or just Vanessa Kirby doing what she always does: dressing like the world is already hers?
Paige Searcy, with a gaze that cuts through the lens, debuted a strikingly edgy yet alluring aesthetic in her recent July 2025 photoshoot, signaling a compelling shift in her visual narrative.
In a series of captivating close-ups, Searcy embodies a dark romance, her dark hair artfully tousled to frame her expressive features. The central focus of her ensemble is a black, strapless corset or bustier, its front intricately laced with grommets and crisscrossing ties, evoking a sense of classic lingerie reimagined for high fashion. This bold choice speaks to a prevailing trend of incorporating intimate apparel as outerwear, blurring the lines between vulnerability and strength. Around her neck, a delicate black choker, adorned with a subtle rose detail and slender ties that dangle gracefully, adds a touch of gothic charm and intricate detail.
At the Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires premiere, Bailee Madison delivered a sleek, sculptural take on gothic glamour—equal parts Disney darling and midnight siren.
There’s a certain thrill when a red carpet look walks the line between Disney and danger. On July 8, 2025, at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, Bailee Madison did just that—arriving at the Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires premiere in a look that whispered vampiric elegance without ever raising its voice.
