Evan Rachel Wood Wore Dior To ‘The Shards’ New York Premiere

Evan Rachel Wood made her return to the red carpet for the first time since November 2022 at the world premiere of FX’s The Shards, held at the SVA Theatre in New York on Monday.

When I think of the actress, sharp tailoring and gothic-leaning black ensembles immediately come to mind, so seeing her return in red was a welcome surprise.

She wore a Dior by John Galliano Fall 2006 velvet slip dress, and it couldn’t have been more quintessential Galliano. The asymmetric draping, bias-cut silhouette and lingerie-inspired cowl neckline are signatures of his work from that era, while the crushed velvet adds the richness and sensuality that defined so many of his collections during the mid-2000s. It’s romantic, dramatic and unmistakably Galliano.

A matching red Judith Leiber clutch kept the monochromatic story intact, while the beauty look softened the overall effect. Instead of introducing another bold red element, she opted for a soft pink lip and a relaxed updo.

I wasn’t expecting Evan Rachel Wood’s return to come via vintage Dior x Galliano, but it feels like exactly the sort of statement that makes a long-awaited red carpet appearance memorable.
