On the red carpet as in the movies: the looks of celebs pay tribute to their characters

It is to be expected that the stars hit the red carpet, under the flashes of the spotlights and photographers, with flawless look. On some occasions, however, the divas delight the eyes and smartphones with unexpected tailoring choices, taking tours and previews around the world to a higher level to promote the film that sees them as protagonist. How? With details or even entire outfits full of references to their characters on the big screen, 100% inspired directly by them.

In these rare and wonderful cases, their dresses don’t just respect the dress code. And so it happens quite often that actresses and stylists work together to best pay homage to the film in question, taking care to balance tribute and fashion. In the end, having fun with fashion is a game that everyone likes, including actresses, but the line between glamor and disguise is really thin and it must not be overcome with a wrong style move.

Of all the celebs who have dabbled with fashion in the art of E.aster Egg of the film, Zendaya it is perhaps that more and more on the piece every time. His recent press tours for the film Spider-Man: No Way Home saw her debut wrapped in a series of spider and arachnid inspired dresses in a swirl of sequins and geometric color blocks that further cemented her status as a contemporary fashion icon.

While the American star is arguably the best testimonial of referential styling, other actresses have also participated in the game of à la page giveaways with success. Let’s take for example Carrie-Anne Moss: for the premiere of Matrix Resurrections she wore an Oscar de la Renta dress embroidered with green and silver sequins to imitate the digital rain of the film’s computer code; or the dark giveaways of Angelina Jolie to his Disney alter ego: the dark one Maleficent to which the romantic was opposed Elle Fanning who, wearing a green dress with cascading Gucci flowers for the preview of the second chapter on villain of Sleeping Beauty brought out the Aurora in her.

In the gallery, then, here is a recap of the looks of the celebrities on the red carpet who have referred to their film roles and who subsequently made their films even more memorable.
