If this is any index of howThe Hunger Games : The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakesred carpets are going to go , I am activated .
Hunter Schaferis one of my faves on the red carpet, and her look for the European premiere ofThe Hunger Games:The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakeshit it out of the park, as per usual.
Hunter plays Tigris Snow inThe Hunger Gamesprequel, a character we actually see inThe Hunger Games:Mockingjay— Part 2.She’s astylistand cousin to President Snow, though the version of her we see inThe Ballad of Songbirds and Snakesisapparentlyquite different from the one inMockingjay.
The look is actually from the Schiaparelli Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2023/2024 show and wasdesignedby creative director Daniel Roseberry.
So let’s get into how this dress actually works. The base layer iscrochetthat stretches, with the hand-painted elements on top.
But that’s not all. If you look even closer, there are rhinestones embellishing each panel.
Hunter’s stylist for the carpet, Interview magazine’s Dara Allen, shared a video of what the dress sounds like in motion, which I shall describe as “crunchy.”
Personally, the sleeves are my favorite detail.
Of course, the overall effect is one of an oil-painted body, which was based on an original piece of artwork by Daniel.
Hunter’s costarRachel Zegleralso made a splash with her Katniss Everdeen–inspiredgown.
Brava!
