Nathalie Emmanuel made a jaw-dropping return to the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of Peacock’s ‘The Killer’ on Thursday, and it’s safe to say that she left everyone in awe. It’s rare that I’m at a loss for words, but this time, all I can say is wow.
The British actress looked absolutely stunning in an Elie Saab Fall 2023 Haute Couture bustier gown that perfectly showcased her grace and elegance. This wasn’t just any gown; it was a masterpiece defined by its peaked neckline, sleek column silhouette, and an alluring thigh-high split. The combination of the black velvet bodice with the crepe skirt added a level of sophistication that was nothing short of breathtaking.
As I’ve mentioned before, this summer has been dominated by black gowns, and Nathalie’s choice only strengthens the case for this timeless trend. When black is done right, as it is here, it’s impossible to resist. I, for one, am fully embracing this wave of high-glam black on the red carpet.
What makes this look even more remarkable is the stark contrast compared to Nathalie’s recent run of Chanel looks at the Cannes Film Festival. Those outfits left me yearning for something more, something that truly captured her essence. And now, she’s delivered.
Nathalie has always been known for her free-spirited, boho-chic style, often favouring bold colours and flowing silhouettes. To see her step into this high-glam era, embracing a more structured, classic elegance, is incredibly satisfying. It’s a testament to her versatility and her ability to surprise us, even after all these years.
This Elie Saab gown isn’t just a dress; it’s a statement, and do we need to talk about how glorious her hair looks? Roots and all?
Perfection from head-to-toe.
How are we going to pick a favourite from this week?
