Brie Larson was spotted out in New York last night heading out to take part in a panel discussion on her latest film, The Glass Castle, alongside co-star Naomi Watts and Jeanette Walls, who authored the book on which it was based. And while Walls and Watts both opted for the little white dress — a favorite this summer of Kate Middleton, Melania Trump, and Priyanka Chopra — Larson skipped the typical summer staple in favor of the New York City-friendly LBD. The Academy Award winning actress s version from Cinq à Sept married a sophisticated look with va-va-voom elements that evoked old Hollywood icons like Rita Hayworth and Marilyn Monroe.
The dress s sweetheart neckline was lent a dose of 90s-style minimalism through the addition of nude-pink silk charmeuse trim. But the structured body-con silhouette hugged Larson’s physique like the pinup-style dresses favored by Hayworth and Monroe. The contrast fabric reappeared as a flounce at the hem, adding a feminine flourish that was amplified by her structured Gabriela Hearst Diana bag and strappy sandals.
