Naomi Scott was kind of unrecognisable as she attended the special screening of ‘Smile 2’ held at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on a wet London this evening, that’s because my last memory of her was romantic Erdem look for the 2022 Academy Museum Gala.
Wearing a look from the Erdem Spring 2025 collection, Naomi showcased a departure from the brand’s typical dainty dresses, opting for a more androgynous ensemble. While Erdem’s signature romanticism was still present, it was mixed with masculine tailoring and a nod to the 1920s, creating a look that embraced gender fluidity. The sharp blazer, adorned with a canvas patch on the cuff, featured a typewritten title page of ‘The Well of Loneliness’, a bold literary reference that played into the collection’s deeper exploration of gender and identity.
What makes this look so successful is its blend of contrasts. The structured blazer paired with a soft lace dress accented with an embellished overlay creates a dynamic interplay between the masculine and feminine, both visually and conceptually. Despite the elements not “traditionally” belonging together, the outfit transitioned beautifully onto the red carpet, a testament to Erdem’s genius and Naomi’s evolving fashion sense.
Her new pixie haircut added to the look’s overall edge, giving her a modern, effortlessly cool vibe. By keeping the styling minimal and allowing the garments to speak for themselves, Naomi sold the narrative of Erdem’s collection with confidence and ease. This bold shift from her usual style proves that Naomi isn’t afraid to experiment with fashion, embracing a more intellectual approach to red carpet dressing.
