The Crown, wasn’t able to have an in-person fitting for her ethereal Valentino gown, instead trying on looks remotely. The dress, from Valentino’s current autumn/winter ready-to-wear collection, was re-made specifically for the actress by the design house, which added in extra beaded panels and a layer of lining.
Fennell’s stylist, Colomba Giacomini, saw the gown as an opportunity for the actress to have a moment of rebirth after walking the Oscars red carpet while pregnant.
While Fennell attended the Netflix Emmys celebration in London rather than flying to LA for the actual ceremony, Giacomini presented Fennell’s look as a “butterfly-emerging gown.”It’s a statement for the actress personally, but also for how red carpet fashion may play.
