As soon as Nicola Coughlan was cast in The Magic Faraway Tree film adaptation, I knew her press tour style would be straight out of a fairytale. At the March 22 premiere in London, Coughlan proved me right by fluttering onto the red carpet in a romantic couture gown.
Stylist Aimee Croysdill went full method-dressing mode for Coughlan's first Faraway Tree step-and-repeat. A semi-sheer gown from Georges Hobeika's Spring 2026 Couture show initially inspired Croysdill and Coughlan. Still, they took creative liberties by trading the frothy white shade for mint green. "We talked about maybe doing it in brown, but I have wanted to do a minty green for ages," Coughlan told Elle UK before the premiere.
