Lily Newmark Wore McQueen To The ‘Alien: Earth’ London Premiere

Lily Newmark attended the London premiere of Alien: Earth at the Barbican Centre on Tuesday in a look that asked: McQueen Fall 2025 — costume or red carpet dream?

I’m firmly in the dream camp. This dress walks the line between the otherworldly and the historic, echoing both the alien and the aristocratic. The tiered ruffles and sheer lace brought a touch of Victorian ghostliness, while the sharp silhouette and saturated blood-red hue delivered a jolt of futuristic intensity — perfectly in tune with a film that straddles sci-fi and Earth-bound drama.

I was particularly taken with the dramatic, high-necked collar and voluminous lace layers, which added a theatrical elegance without tipping into costume territory. It felt stylised, yes, but also purposeful — fashion as storytelling.

And while we’ve seen cases — hello, Rosamund Pike — where sticking too closely to runway styling doesn’t always pay off, here the lace boots and matching tights enhanced the look. They added cohesion and edge, making the ensemble feel not just red carpet-ready, but red planet-ready.

This was bold, moody, fashion-forward, and just a touch unearthly. A perfect visual metaphor for Alien: Earth, and a brilliant red carpet moment for Lily Newmark.
