Red Carpet Revolution: When Cinema Meets High Fashion
A Star-Studded Unveiling: The Premiere Event in New York City
On August 26, the New York premiere for Darren Aronofsky's new film, \"Caught Stealing,\" took place at the Regal in Union Square. The movie, which delves into the chaotic underground world of the 1990s grunge era, features Austin Butler and Zoë Kravitz in lead roles, supported by Matt Smith and a special appearance by Bad Bunny. The film's aesthetic, characterized by a raw, downtown New York City style, deeply influenced the fashion choices seen on the red carpet.
Zoë Kravitz's Homage to '90s Elegance with Saint Laurent
Zoë Kravitz, recognized for her ability to revive '90s trends, made a significant fashion statement in a custom Saint Laurent creation. Her charcoal two-piece ensemble was a direct homage to a look from the brand's spring 1990 collection, originally showcased by supermodel Yasmeen Ghauri. This outfit, featuring a long-sleeve crop top and a V-waisted skirt, exuded a blend of relaxed sophistication and sleek minimalism, mirroring her recent press tour wardrobe that included a champagne lace slip from the same fashion house.
Austin Butler's Bold Givenchy Statement and Unreleased Designs
Austin Butler's attire resonated perfectly with the film's thematic undertones. He appeared in an exclusive, previously unreleased full leather suit from Givenchy, designed by Sarah Burton. Styled by Ryan Hastings, Butler opted for a shirtless look beneath the suit, drawing all attention to the striking leather ensemble, complemented by classic dress shoes. Although Burton has not formally introduced a full menswear line for Givenchy, she occasionally previews her designs through celebrity red-carpet appearances, as seen with Timothée Chalamet's butter-yellow suit at the Oscars. Bad Bunny also contributed to the fashion narrative, sporting a complete look from Saint Laurent's spring 2025 menswear collection, featuring a layered button-down shirt and tie over a mesh tank top, subtly recalling pre-2000s three-piece suit styling.
