Alba Rohrwacher made a return to the red carpet for the Season 4 New York premiere of HBO’s ‘My Brilliant Friend,’ held at the Museum of Modern Art on Tuesday.
The Italian actress, a known devotee of Dior, chose a look from the label’s Resort 2025 collection that was both understated and quintessentially her. If your first reaction to this off-the-shoulder, Highland-inspired tartan dress was that it’s missing something—a bold runway necklace or more dramatic makeup—then you may be unfamiliar with Alba Rohrwacher’s unique approach to the red carpet.
Alba has never been one to follow the typical Hollywood red carpet playbook. Where others might opt for statement jewelry or heavy glam to elevate their look, Alba’s style is marked by a preference for simplicity and a natural aesthetic that always feels refreshingly authentic. For this premiere, she embraced her signature minimalist approach, styling the tartan dress with subtle elegance and confidence.
This approach is classic Alba Rohrwacher, an actress who has always stood apart from the crowd with her understated, refined fashion sense. While some might say this look needed the bold necklace seen on the runway or a pop of colour in her makeup, I would argue that Alba knows exactly what she is doing. By letting the dress speak for itself, she brings attention to its beautiful craftsmanship and unique design, without any distractions. The choice of footwear—an unexpected pair of boots—only added to the charm, reinforcing her reputation for bringing a unique twist to the red carpet.
This is not the first time Alba has chosen simplicity over extravagance, and it certainly won’t be the last. She remains one-to-watch not for her adherence to trends, but for her commitment to a style that is uniquely and unapologetically her own.
So, if you find yourself questioning her choices or thinking that something is missing, remember that Alba Rohrwacher’s beauty lies in her subtlety, her quiet elegance, and her refusal to conform to expectations.
