Jessica Henwick Embraces Sculptural Simplicity in David Koma

Jessica Henwick attended the National Youth Theatre’s 70th Anniversary Gala Performance of ‘Letters To My Younger Future Self’ at the Royal Festival Hall in London.

The actress wore a beautiful David Koma Resort 2027 satin halter gown, with the sculptural ruffle at the hips adding volume and definition to the otherwise streamlined silhouette. I love how the detail creates a focal point without taking away from the simplicity of the gown.

It’s just a shame about the length. The fabric pooling around Jessica’s feet is a bit jarring and puts a dent in the fluid, clean line that makes this gown so appealing.

I do love how Jessica let the dress do the talking with neutral makeup, a simple high bun and no jewellery.

Stylist: Rebecca Corbin-Murray.
