Rebel Wilson arrived Friday for the Sydney Opera House premiere of the musical “Miss Saigon” taking a preppy approach to red carpet style. She wore a black Gucci midi dress with white trim at the waist, collar and sleeves and Gucci interlocking G buttons.
Wilson paired the dress with black Gucci mules with interlocking Gucci G buckles. She accessorized the ensemble with a Chanel classic flap bag.
“Miss Saigon” was composed by Claude-Michel Schönberg, who wrote the musical based on the opera “Madama Butterfly” by Giacomo Puccini. The musical debuted in London’s West End in 1989. Schönberg recently told the Australian Financial Review, “We wrote it as a love story, based on ‘Madama Butterfly,’ about a big misunderstanding between a Western boy and a Vietnamese girl.”

When she’s not supporting her fellow thespians at musical premieres, Rebel Wilson is working on her entrepreneurial endeavors. In June, the actress launched her new dating app, Fluid. The app is the first of its kind where users don’t have to pick a sexual orientation or describe what they are looking for.
“There’s so much on the spectrum of sexuality,” Wilson told WWD. “On other dating apps, you have to choose between one of 30 different classifications of sexuality. It’s getting to be ridiculous. Before, it just used to be gay, straight or bi. Now, so many sexual orientations are being recognized, but I said, ‘Let’s get away from categories and just be who you are.’ You don’t have to come out, and it’s just fine with everybody.”
