Fresh off the Paris premiere of The Last of Us, Isabela Merced hopped on the Eurostar for London, where she attended 2025 BAFTA Games Awards. And while her last look had some of us in two minds, this latest appearance left little room for debate: it’s grown-up glamour, full stop.
Wearing a stunning Sabyasachi gown, Isabela delivered a sleek and sophisticated moment that still carried that signature youthful energy she brings to every carpet. The black gown, with its plunging neckline and delicately beaded empire waist skirt was so refined. That neck scarf? The chicest punctuation mark.
Sabyasachi’s signature—blending traditional Indian craftsmanship with contemporary cuts—shone through in this look. The rich, luxe feel of the gown was elevated by the clean silhouette and subtle yet impactful embellishments.
What also made this look land so beautifully was the softer beauty styling. While Isabela’s makeup has occasionally dipped into vampy h glam, here we saw a more subdued palette—soft eyes, flushed cheeks, and a neutral lip—which balanced the dramatic black dress and let the whole ensemble breathe.
It’s poised, polished, and a welcome shift for her. A quiet slay, if you will.
