It's not every day that Cynthia Erivo portrays 23 roles in London's West End production of Dracula. Her once-in-a-lifetime, one-woman show is summoning everyone to The Noel Coward Theatre, even Florence Pugh. On February 17, Erivo's Dracula hypnotized the actor into ending her 10-month red carpet hiatus, with fresh-off-the-runway Patou as her plus-one.
Two weeks after Patou presented its Fall 2026 collection, the closing look landed in the hands of Pugh's stylist, Rebecca Corbin-Murray. It was the perfect blend of gothic and glamorous for a ticket to Dracula's opening night. The Don't Worry Darling actor posed for photographers in Patou's carpet-grazing shift dress, featuring cap sleeves and a sleek mock neck. Victorian-era elements continued with two-tone black fabric, featuring less-than-average cutouts from neck to hem. Zoom in to see the velvety velour shape-shift into forest animals, soldiers, archers, and the like. Fans of Erivo's Wicked press tour will appreciate the dress's subtle story-telling exterior.
