Charlie Murphy Puts Preen Back in the Spotlight at the ‘Ebenezer’ Premiere
Charlie Murphy joined her Ebenezer co-star Ellie Bamber for the London premiere on Monday evening, and it seems black lace was the unofficial dress code for the night.

The actress wore a look from Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, the British label founded by Justin Thornton and Thea Bregazzi, from their Fall 2024 collection, their most recent runway presentation.

Like Ellie’s look, this delivered both gothic romance and glamour, but there is much more going on here than your typical black lace dress. The sheer bodice features intricate black beaded embroidery, while the voluminous satin peplum creates a striking contrast with the delicate lace skirt. This mix of textures and unexpected fabric combinations has always been a hallmark of the designers’ work.

There is a lot happening here, but Charlie wears it beautifully. The simple hair and makeup are exactly what this dress needed, and she looks fantastic.
Preen has given us so many memorable red carpet moments over the years, and seeing this dress reminds me just how much I’ve missed the label. Could this be the beginning of a red carpet comeback? I certainly hope so.

Boodles earrings and Manolo Blahnik sandals completed her look.
