Maisie Williams stuns in Christian Dior's iconic silhouette at premiere

Maisie Williams revamps Christian Dior's signature silhouette at The New Look premiere.

Step into the world of Christian Dior's iconic 'New Look' silhouette as Maisie Williams, best known for her role in Game of Thrones, made a bold fashion statement at the premiere of her new series, The New Look. Embracing the series' inspiration, Williams paid homage to the legendary French fashion designer by donning his signature style.

Sporting a black leather dress, Williams exuded elegance with an exaggerated shawl effect that gracefully draped across her shoulders and encircled her waist. The midi-length A-line skirt added volume and movement to her ensemble. Embracing the monochromatic theme, she paired her outfit with black tights, sheer pleated gloves, velvet pointed-toe heels, and a chic leather beret.

Keeping her jewelry minimal, Williams let a pair of dazzling dangle diamond earrings steal the spotlight. Her makeup was understated, featuring a soft bronze eyeshadow and deep maroon matte lipstick that perfectly complemented her ensemble.

Not to be outdone, Williams' co-stars Juliette Binoche and Todd A. Kessler also made striking appearances with their own statement headpieces. Kessler sported a small black bowler hat, while Binoche opted for a wide-brim cartwheel hat. Binoche's dress echoed the iconic 'New Look' silhouette with rounded shoulders resembling the shape of a shawl, although her maxi-length and form-fitting dress deviated slightly from Dior's traditional style.

Joining Williams, Binoche, and Kessler, Hollywood veteran Glenn Close arrived in another significant Dior-inspired outfit. She turned heads with a black structured blazer paired with a full pleated skirt and leather black gloves, showcasing the timeless elegance of the brand.

Photographed alongside their co-stars Ben Mendelsohn, John Malkovich, and Claes Bang, the ensemble cast of The New Look exuded sophistication and style. The highly-anticipated AppleTV+ series follows the journey of renowned designers Christian Dior, Coco Chanel, Pierre Balmain, and Cristóbal Balenciaga as they revolutionize fashion against the backdrop of World War II. Williams plays the role of Christian Dior's younger sister, Catherine, while Malkovich stars as Lucien Lelong.

In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaar U.K., Williams revealed the dedication she brought to her role, including shaving her head and undergoing a weight loss transformation of about 25 pounds. Under the careful supervision of medical professionals, her weight loss journey was closely monitored, involving regular heart rate checks and blood tests. The physical and emotional toll of this transformation led Williams to experience sleep disturbances and recurring nightmares, which she believes helped her connect with the experiences of her character, Catherine, a WWII French resistance fighter.

With its star-studded cast and captivating storyline, The New Look promises to be a riveting exploration of fashion history intertwined with the human spirit. Don't miss the premiere of The New Look on Wednesday, Feb. 14, exclusively on AppleTV+.
