In London, Lily-Rose Depp dazzles the crowd in a Chanel dress

A new film is set to rock the world: Robert Eggers' Nosferatu, starring Lily-Rose Depp, Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård and Nicholas Hoult, tells the story of one of the most terrifying monsters of all time: the Nosferatu, an ancient vampire from Transylvania who stalks a young woman in 19th century Germany. It is scheduled to premiere in France on December 25, 2024. The cast has begun touring to promote this new vampire story.
"Lily-Rose Depp is an admirable, young girl of the new generation with star qualities," Karl Lagerfeld said immediately after announcing that Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp's daughter had become Chanel's muse. In keeping with this logic, for the London premiere of the horror film, the young woman opted for an outfit with the French fashion house's signature, and not just any outfit, as it was a look from Chanel's autumn-winter 2020-2021 haute couture collection, inspired by Gabrielle Chanel's childhood at the Abbey of Aubuisine. It was an exquisite long-sleeved gown, with a bustier of grey taffeta topped with a large ruffled collar, and a flounced skirt. The vampiric flavour was given by the ostentatious jewellery in the form of a cross, decorated with multi-coloured pearls, which adorned the bustier.

Lily-Rose Depp's choice of clothes is no accident. It is in the spirit of method dressing - the fashion phenomenon initiated by Lowe Roach, Zendaya's stylist. Method dressing involves an actor or actress playing their role in real life, at awards ceremonies or star appearances on the red carpet. They entertain by winking at the characters they portray in their films, suggesting outfits inspired by them. The best example of this is Zendaya, who, to promote Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part II in London, caused a real furore by wearing the iconic robotic costume presented at the Mugler Haute Couture Autumn-Winter 1995-1996 show. Lily-Rose Depp, on the other hand, opted for discretion with a dress with a halo of codes borrowed from the 19th century. - The period in which the film is set.
