Our reading
Gemma Chan wore a 1920s-inspired dress that looked like it was designed for a flapper, but somehow still managed to look like a red carpet star. The dress was so straight and angular it could have been a mannequin’s dream, but she made it work with a little help from her stylist and a lot of confidence.
It’s impressive how a dress that’s supposed to flatten the body can still make someone look like they’re walking on air. Maybe the 1920s had a different definition of ‘effortless.’ Or maybe it’s just that the right shoes can turn any silhouette into a statement.
She looked like she stepped out of a museum, but with a little more makeup than the average artifact. Still, the whole thing felt like a performance, and she nailed the act.
