Riley Keough put a spin on the dark glamour trend with her Chanel look at the New York Film Festival premiere of “Jay Kelly” on Monday night in New York City.
The actress’ sleeveless dress hails from the French luxury fashion house’s 2026 cruise collection. Featuring a high-low skirt, the dress included a semi-sheer style fabric with shimmering rhinestone embellishments at the bustline and just below the waist, offering a stark contrast to the black fabric.
The skirt of Keough’s look featured tiered ruffles, adding a feminine edge to the overall garment and a flowing element. Keough paired the dress with strappy black heels, and her glam mimicked the dark glamour allure, with her dark hair styled in natural waves and a middle part.
