Tessa Thompson Wore Christopher John Rogers To ‘The Fear Of 13’ Broadway Opening Night 

Tessa Thompson attended The Fear Of 13 Broadway opening night at the James Earl Jones Theater in New York City on Wednesday.

The Christopher John Rogers Fall 2026 collection is proving to be a quiet red-carpet favourite this week, first Carey Mulligan, and now Tessa.

While some may still long for her more experimental choices, there’s a noticeable shift here towards a softer, more refined direction that feels in step with the setting. This chiffon printed dress, rendered in a diffused, almost ink-blot pattern, brings a different kind of presence.

For me the floral accent is better placed at the waist than as a necklace, as seen on the model in the lookbook, as it defines the silhouette without crowding the neckline.

What stands out most is how this look reflects the ongoing evolution of her red carpet style under Karla Welch’s guidance, even if they don’t push as far as her earlier looks once did.

Styled with Jessica McCormack jewels, her signature low bun, and a bold red lip, the overall finish leans into simplicity, allowing the print and silhouette to take focus.

Stylist: Karla Welch.
