Meghann Fahy was always going to look like the main character at the premiere of Netflix's The Perfect Couple. What the Emmy-nominated actress wasn't going to do was method dress—at least not in the usual, cut-and-paste-from-the-costume-department sense.
Fahy instead decided to channel her character, maid of honor Merritt—who sits at the center of a major murder—in a more subtle fashion. She and stylist Thomas Carter Phillips pulled a quintessential naked dress by Victoria Beckham for the task. The dress entailed a delicate, sheer, black lace midi silhouette with a plunging V-neckline in the front and even less fabric in the back. It was a little femme fatale, a little boudoir, and very much a nod to Merritt's psyche.
