Christina Ricci Trades Her Dark Side for Ivory at the ‘Yellowjackets’ Premiere

After kicking off her press tour in Marc Jacobs the day before, Christina Ricci attended the Yellowjackets Season 4 premiere at Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles on Wednesday.

I firmly believe that there is no such thing as a bad Vivienne Westwood dress, but this look from Andreas Kronthaler’s Spring 2027 collection is seriously testing that theory.

Starting with the positives, I love the ivory colour, especially as I was fully expecting Christina to wear black.

But the skirt is where things start to unravel. On the runway, sections of the skirt were hitched up to expose black stockings, giving the design that signature Westwood mix of rebellion and romanticism.

And while I completely understand why Christina wouldn’t want to walk the red carpet with her legs and stockings on display like that, the unfurled skirt just looks messy, and not in the artfully dishevelled way we associate with Westwood.

The central slit wreaks havoc with the draping, leaving the fabric awkwardly gathered and bunched up. What looked wonderfully unconventional on the runway now looks like a dress that hasn’t been properly adjusted.

As much as I love the draping on the bodice, the fit is another issue. The fabric bunches through the torso, suggesting that either the dress is too big or Christina doesn’t quite have the torso length to accommodate its proportions.

The styling only adds to my frustration. The black Kurt Geiger Bond East West bag feels too bulky for this dress, and the black pumps are another head-scratcher.

The green earrings are the only accessories I would save.

I’m bitterly disappointed, especially because I know how good Christina can look in Vivienne Westwood.
