Honest opinion: there are many aspects of film that make them worth the wait, but press tours build genuine hype. Nothing matches the anticipation created when stars step onto the global red carpet circuit in looks that both promote and extend the movie’s world—especially in recent years, now that Hollywood’s A-listers have more couture to work with to cleverly pay homage to their respective characters.
Here are the most stylish press tours, both past and present, dominating everyone’s feeds.
The Devil Wears Prada 2

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the sequel to the quintessential fashion movie is on this list. Both Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep entered pure editorial territory—nostalgic yet forward-looking, with every look feeling like a Runway magazine cover come to life. Schiaparelli, Bottega Veneta, Stella McCartney, Balenciaga, and Celine are just some of the powerhouses that made this glamorous dream happen.
The Drama
It needs to be said that Zendaya deserves every accolade for being the best dressed at pretty much every event she attends (thank you, Law Roach). Her recent outfits for A24’s The Drama had netizens constantly guessing which gown she’d be donning next. For this marital comedy, the actress leaned into the wedding tradition of “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue,” and the execution was perfect.
“Wuthering Heights”
Say what you will about Emerald Fennell’s fever dream interpretation of Emily Bronte’s novel, or the movie’s periodically inaccurate costume choices. Regardless, no one can deny that Margot Robbie looked fantastic in contemporary gothic pieces by Dilara Findikoglu, vintage John Galliano, and Ashi Studio Couture during the “Wuthering Heights” tour.
Dune
When the Dune reboot was initially announced, expectations were high due to the star-studded cast. It was hard to blame the public; these were familiar faces who had already proven their mettle in previous projects. As established red carpet experts, Zendaya, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Florence Pugh did not fail to deliver futuristic flair for this sci-fi desert saga.
Nosferatu
With how Lily-Rose Depp and Emma Corrin dressed during the promotion of Nosferatu, you could almost feel an ancient, evil vampire looming over their shoulders. Okay, maybe that’s dramatic. Still, credit is due for how the two were styled in gothic-inspired garments by Chanel, Miu Miu, and Alexander McQueen.
Wicked
Finally, here come Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande—an outstanding pair that made us laugh and cry during both installments of Wicked. They are a gift to the world that no one expected but everyone needed. Better yet, the two did not hold back from embodying Elphaba and Glinda for their multiple appearances, and fans were rightfully delighted.
