Janelle Monáe arrived at the “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” premiere on Nov. 14 in Los Angeles, California, wearing a dramatic black and red gown by Elie Saab.
The dress incorporated a cutout bodice and a black and red skirt made from feathers.
Monáe’s Elie Saab gown was from the brand’s 2022 couture collection, which was described as the designer’s ode to the crepuscule, a game of shadows drawn in contrasts between geometric lines and rounded, sun-like forms.
Monáe accessorized with jewelry from Al Zain, including several rings and a pair of hoop earrings. She also carried a cylindrical red clutch by Rodo.
