Take it from Zendaya, who jumped straight from futuristic desert Dune sets to tennis-core for Challengers in 2024: If you're promoting two projects back-to-back, the easiest way to separate them is through method dressing. Jessie Buckley is following her lead from Hamnet to The Bride! Her sartorial shift was obvious at the Bride of Frankenstein adaptation's February 26 London premiere, thanks to her half-gothic, half-naked couture gown.
Stylist Danielle Goldberg—the same creative behind Buckley's Hamnet looks—sourced Maison Margiela's Spring 2024 Couture collection. The pull alone indicated this film's aesthetic is much more gothic than classically Victorian. It started simply: with nothing but a vertical stitch down the bodice. But once the black chiffon reached her hips, extra pleating added some volume to the transparent skirt. Plus, the elongated train flowed dramatically behind her with each step.
