Hunter Schafer’s Edgy Red Carpet Style Is Completely Euphoric

Making her Cannes Film Festival debut, the star channeled peak Hollywood glamour in a liquid Armani Privé gown and a sapphire and diamond necklace and earrings for the Kinds of Kindness premiere.

Only Schafer could make something as simple as a housewife’s apron into a capital-F Fashion moment. For the Kinds of Kindness photo call at the Cannes Film Festival, she epitomized cool in a white Prada outfit and matching bandana that she dressed up with pale blue satin pumps.

The actress turned up to a 2024 GQ event with a whole new definition of the phrase “wearable art.” She looked ethereal in a hand-painted Marni gown and shoes inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s Starry Night.

Only Schafer could make something like red carpet leg warmers work. And it sure helps when said leg warmers are actually vintage from Prada’s fall 2007 collection.

In fresh off-the-runway Maison Margiela couture by John Galliano, the actress flexed her fashion bonafides during the 2024 Berlin Film Festival.

For the 2024 Golden Globes, Schafer turned up in a dramatic twist on the sheer red carpet trend. She slipped into a ballet slipper-colored Prada gown that featured lighter-than-air layers of fabric.

Schafer looked like a modern-day Effie Trinket at the 2023 Hunger Games premiere, wearing a dramatic flower dress by Marni and classic white heels.

Schafer paired pin-straight, waist-skimming hair with a completely embellished and cut out Alexander McQueen dress for a Hunger Games red carpet in L.A.

For The Hunger Games’ world premiere in London, Schafer wore a custom gold lamé Prada look based around a design from the brand’s spring 2009 collection.

Schafer did not mess around during The Hunger Games press tour, and at the movie’s first premiere, held in Germany, she wore an artistic Schiaparelli fall 2023 haute couture dress that looked like it was literally painted on her.

There were many great style moments at the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscar party, but Schafer blew everyone out of the water when she arrived to the red carpet in a look from Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s one and only collection for Ann Demeulemeester, featuring just a singular white feather as a top.

Schafer clearly loves the Prada archives, as she had another old look (this one from the brand’s spring/summer 1997 collection) recreated for her to wear to the Costume Designers Guild Awards.

While promoting her hit HBO show, Schafer wore a burnt orange, asymmetric Rick Owens set, keeping the styling clean with just a pair of black boots.

Schafer embraced her edgier side at the 2022 Vanity Fair party, attending in a bleached denim Rick Ownes fall 2022 dress, styled with a diamond necklace and wet hair.

Before the Costume Designers Guild Awards, Schafer embraced Prada organza in the form of a custom burgundy dress at the premiere of Euphoria season two.

Schafer looked like she came from another galaxy to attend the Met Gala in her metallic Prada dress with an aquamarine brooch designed by Evangeline AdaLioryn, which the actress wore across her face.

This Givenchy spring 2019 couture dress covered in organza tubes, sequins, and pearl fringe—which Schafer wore to the 2020 Vanity Fair Oscar party—was made for twirling, and clearly the actress got the memo.

Schafer adopted a softer look for the Film Independent Spirit Awards, wearing a pleated white shirt and skirt from Loewe pre-fall 2020, though she did bring her usual edge in the form of dark lipstick.

The actress turned to one of her go-to designers, Rick Owens, to dress her for the Golden Globes after party in 2020.

Schafer once again wore Rick Owens, this time a burgundy fall 2019 dress with ruffle details. She also paired the look with Owens’ popular grilled boots.

The actress was dripping in pearls in a Christopher Kane pre-fall 2019 satin set.

Schafer matched her colorful, multi-patterned Mugler pre-fall 2019 dress with her makeup at the 2019 MTV Movie & TV Awards.

The model-turned-actress attended her first premiere in a floral knit, asymmetric Rodarte dress.
