‘All’s Fair’ Rio De Janeiro Premiere
Despite the mixed reviews surrounding the show, Sarah Paulson, Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, and Niecy Nash-Betts regrouped in Rio de Janeiro for the All’s Fair series premiere.
Judging by the red carpet, these women didn’t come to play supporting roles — not on screen, and certainly not in fashion.
Architectural Fantasy
Sarah Paulson was by far my favourite style-wise, wearing a Balenciaga Spring 2026 two-piece look. This collection was one of my standouts of the season, and seeing it come to life on the red carpet confirms why. The white cropped top paired with a voluminous jade-green skirt created that unmistakable Balenciaga silhouette — exaggerated and sculptural. Sarah understands the fashion conversation Balenciaga is having right now; it’s conceptual yet still red carpet-worthy, with the sleek hair and minimal makeup serving as the perfect supporting cast. At this point, I’m convinced Balenciaga has a black-pump clause.

Same Script, New Stage
Kim Kardashian, meanwhile, stayed firmly in her comfort zone. I would have loved for her to take more risks during this press tour — not even risks, just a fresh direction. This is a new chapter in her career, and yet, the wardrobe feels like a greatest-hits reel. Her custom Conner Ives gown, crafted from reclaimed feathers sourced from a vintage Edwardian fan, was undeniably glamorous and beautifully made, with a few of those feathers accented into her hair. It’s body-hugging, features cut-outs, and dips low at the back… you know the drill. There’s no denying she looks gorgeous, but I’m craving more. I always will with Kim. When you’ve redefined the influencer era, surely you can redefine your own aesthetic, too. Messika jewels completed her look.

Optical Illusion
Naomi Watts brought graphic precision to the carpet in Balmain Fall 2025 black-and-white strapless column dress with its sculpted peplum and linear sequin detailing was a study in modern geometry — almost trompe-l’oeil in effect. It’s structured, clever, and entirely in keeping with Olivier Rousteing’s architectural leanings. Naomi’s minimalist styling and soft hair kept the look from feeling overworked, striking a nice contrast to the dress’ almost futuristic rigidity. Walters Faith jewels completed her look.

Glamour In Full Throttle
Niecy Nash-Betts delivered the full fantasy in a custom Kamilla Purshie Couture gown. The deep-V neckline and extravagant pleated fishtail skirt were pure red carpet theatre. Was it practical? Not in the slightest. I imagine she bunny-hopped her way down the carpet, but when you look this breathtaking, that’s a small price to pay. The fit, the presence, the drama — it all came together beautifully, and honestly, no one worked that carpet harder or with more joy than Niecy.
