The two Oscar-nominated actress’ hit high notes in their own interpretations of the dark glamour trend, styling pieces evocative of their film’s theatricality and heightened drama. Grande, who was styled by image architect Law Roach, wore a voluminous Gilbert Adrian gown circa 1952 for her attire.
The dress featured an asymmetric neckline with one shoulder, a fitted bodice and a billowing tiered skirt. All over the black fabric of the dress were sequined elements, adding a sparkle to her gown. Adrian is most famous for his work as the costume designer for “The Wizard of Oz,” adding even greater significance and emotional weight to Grande’s London premiere look.
