Janelle Monáe has brought their signature red hot style to the red carpet for the Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery premiere on Sunday during the 2022 BFI London Film Festival at the Royal Festival Hall. The star rocked a sumptuous and theatrical ensemble.
Resembling a blooming rose, Monáe arrived in a cherry red ensemble from Christian Siriano’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection, recently shown during New York Fashion Week. Styled by Alexandra Mandelkorn, the singer and actor adorned a crimson mock-neck, long-sleeved sheer mesh top over a matching red bralette and a narrow, mesh skirt with a draped silk faille two-tiered bubble waist. Monáe topped off their look with a ruched wide-brimmed head-piece, matching their skirt’s waistline.
The Antebellum actor wore their honey-toned hair in braids, tied back in a low chignon. Monáe accessorized with bronze drop wire Misho earrings and added a pop to their glam with red winged graphic eyeliner.
Monáe is set to star alongside James Bond legend Daniel Craig, Kate Hudson, Ethan Hawke, Kathryn Hahn, Edward Norton, Leslie Odom Jr., Hugh Grant, Outer Banks actress Madelyn Cline, and Jessica Henwick in the star-studded feature.
A follow up to 2019’s Knives Out, the forthcoming flick follows famous Southern detective Benoit Blanc (Craig), as he travels to Greece to crack his latest case.
Tech billionaire Miles Bron (Norton) invited his friends for a lavish getaway on his private island when someone turns up dead.
The next day, Monáe stylishly suited up, with black loafers embellished with red hearts, white socks, black leather gloves, sunglasses, and an idiosyncratic piece of millinery, while carrying a black and white pebble grain leather zebra bag by Thom Browne.
