Shailene Woodley Wore Balenciaga To The Red Sea International Film Festival Golden Globes Gala Dinner
Shailene Woodley joined Naomie Harris on the red carpet for the Golden Globes Gala Dinner during the Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and she arrived in a look that marks a noticeable shift from her recent style phases.
The actress—who had a committed run with Fendi for a while—pivoted to Pierpaolo Piccioli’s Balenciaga Spring 2026 collection, which has been enjoying a strong red carpet presence ever since its debut.
You could spot this piece instantly: the jet-black top trimmed with long lacquered strands originally appeared on the runway as a skirt, but the house has been presenting looks so frequently that half the time you’re left wondering whether the pieces are custom or simply unseen versions from the showroom.
Either way, Shailene’s look feels like a welcome swerve into edgier territory. However, I’m torn on the leather opera gloves and the top. They compete with the top rather than complement it, creating a slight tug-of-war for attention, with the top ultimately stealing the scene.
But the detail that I found most intriguing was the footwear. From a distance, it seemed as though she’d opted for pumps that blended seamlessly with her skin tone, but she is, in fact, wearing Balenciaga’s black V-shaped pumps. It’s a clever optical illusion thanks to the black carpet.
