Lily-Rose Depp has been turning heads during the promotional tour for her latest film, Nosferatu, showcasing her unique and chic style at various events. The actress, who is the daughter of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis, has always had an eye for fashion, and she’s proven it time and again as she navigates the press circuit for this much-anticipated film.
The excitement around Nosferatu stems not just from its historical significance—it’s a remake of the iconic 1922 silent film—but also from Depp’s standout performance as Ellen Hutter. At the recent press events, including the Los Angeles premiere held at the TCL Chinese Theatre, she stepped onto the red carpet wearing breathtaking pieces, each more stunning than the last.
At the premiere, she surprised everyone with her choice of attire: a shimmering silver gown from Chanel’s autumn-winter 1995 couture collection. The gown, which was not only historically elegant but also modernized with a delicate lace detail, perfectly encapsulated the ethereal quality of her character. To finish off the look, she chose diamond teardrop earrings, adding just the right amount of sparkle to her already radiant appearance.
Continuing her fashion-forward approach, during the New York screening at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater, she was spotted wearing a trendy cream-colored minidress complete with shoulder pads and a dramatic netting style. This sophisticated number was embellished with large, circular brooches, showcasing her willingness to experiment with textures and styles. Depp’s stylist, Spencer Singer, has been curving her wardrobe to perfection for the tour, ensuring each appearance feels fresh and fashion-forward.
The actress’ hair and makeup were equally on point. She opted for straightened locks beautifully framing her face, complemented by soft makeup—think nude lip liner paired with confident black eyeliner. All of these choices speak not only to her personal style but also to the broader trends currently making waves within the fashion world, particularly the re-emergence of 80s-inspired looks.
Reflecting on her role as Ellen Hutter, Depp described the character as ‘haunted yet strong,’ expertly mirroring this duality with her fashion choices. Her appearance at the BAFTA screening was complemented by her co-star, Bill Skarsgård, who plays Count Orlok. Together, they participated in discussions about the film's production and their experiences, adding layers to their characters for the eager audience.
The acclaim surrounding Nosferatu has not just been limited to its fashion statements. Early reviews of the film have been overwhelmingly positive, with critics calling it ‘hypnotic’ and even dubbing it 'the scariest movie since The Shining.' With such high praise, it’s no wonder Depp’s portrayal has captivated audiences as much as her outfits.
Alongside Depp and Skarsgård, Nosferatu features a strong ensemble cast, including Nicholas Hoult as Thomas Hutter, Ellen’s husband, and Willem Dafoe as Professor Albin Eberhart Von Franz, the supposed vampire hunter. It’s clear this film is not just about ghostly visuals but also about gripping storytelling, which Depp brings to life with her nuanced acting skills.
With Depp’s reputation for edgy, on-trend fashion, fashionistas all over the globe have been watching closely to see what she’ll wear next as the tour continues. Her fashion choices not only tell the story of her character but reflect her personal evolution as both an actress and fashion icon.
Drawing inspiration from history, Depp has also brought back styles from different eras, such as Victorian hairstyles, particularly with her baby braids, which were reminiscent of the types popularized during the 19th century. Her team, including hair stylist Bryce Scarlett, has played an important role in weaving these elements together for the promotional tour.
At the Los Angeles premiere, she sported these charming braided styles, which were elegantly juxtaposed against her vintage-inspired attire. The way the braids swirled around her temples added to the stylish yet eerie ambiance she embraced for the night, aligning perfectly with the film’s haunting themes.
The connections between her character and her fashion choices run deep. Depp recently shared her thoughts on immersive character preparation, mentioning one challenging scene where she was drenched in fake blood—a process she described as both emotionally and physically taxing. This dedication to her craft is reflected not just on-screen but also reflects off-screen, as she curates looks perfectly suited for her character’s gothic setting.
Through it all, Depp maintains her status as one of the fashion elite, effortlessly intertwining her acting career with her deep-rooted connection to the fashion world, particularly through her long-standing relationship with Chanel. Her mother, Vanessa Paradis, was once the muse of the late Karl Lagerfeld and has left indelible marks on the fashion scene, setting high standards for her daughter to follow.
The anticipation surrounding Nosferatu continues to grow as fans look forward to its official release on Christmas Day. With every new appearance, Lily-Rose Depp not only continues to make waves but also invites audiences to explore the intertwining of cinema and fashion, demonstrating how both forms of artistry can work hand-in-hand to create unforgettable experiences.
So, keep your eyes peeled; this is just the beginning of what this fashion-forward star has to offer. Whether dazzling on-screen or making statements off it, it seems Lily-Rose Depp’s star is only set to rise higher as she conquers both the film and fashion industries.
