Lily Gladstone made a bold and brilliant entrance at the Deadline 2025 Sundance Film Festival Studio event on Monday, where she was promoting her upcoming film, The Wedding Banquet.
The Oscar winner, who schooled us all on Indigenous designers during her Killers of the Flower Moon press tour and awards season run, continues to approach fashion with both intention and artistry. This time, she turned to Issey Miyake, opting for a bright yellow and ecru layered shirt look from the brand’s Fall 2024 collection.
At first glance, you might not recognise this as the same piece that debuted on the runway, but that’s the genius of Issey Miyake—his designs aren’t just clothes; they’re kinetic sculptures meant to be worn in a multitude of ways. The pieces allow for endless styling possibilities, making each look a personalised expression of the wearer.
Considering the adaptability of this piece—a trait deeply ingrained in Indigenous craftsmanship—it’s no surprise that Lily gravitated toward it. The ability to reshape and reimagine a garment speaks to traditions of storytelling through clothing, something Lily has masterfully woven into her red carpet identity.
And, of course, no Lily Gladstone look would be complete without a pair of statement earrings, her signature nod to her heritage. Whether she’s in custom couture or contemporary avant-garde fashion, Lily never misses an opportunity to infuse her roots into her style.
