Ella Purnell joined Hailee Steinfeld at The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood on Thursday for the Season Two premiere of Netflix’s ‘Arcane’.
It’s at this point that I realise I don’t really have a clear sense of Ella style personality or aesthetic yet, especially because this Dior Resort 2025 red leather jacket and skirt wasn’t something I would have pictured on her. In fact, I had Jenna Ortega in mind for this outfit, imagining how it might work for her ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ press tour.
The suit itself is intriguing, but the styling doesn’t work for me. For one, the pigtails feel somewhat at odds with the bold, structure of the leather jacket, which has an inherent edge imbued by the shoulders despite its prim lace collar and cuffs.
The J’Adior slingback pumps were another choice that veer more traditional than edgy, which added yet another layer of contrast.
No doubt, this is an outfit that catches your eye, but perhaps with a different styling approach, it could have been more cohesive, and elevated the look’s inherent edge.
All in all, while Ella’s styling didn’t work for me, I do like how she’s never afraid to experiment and with each outing she steps into new, bolder territory.
