Monica Barbaro in Schiaparelli Couture at the A COMPLETE UNKNOWN London Premiere: IN or OUT?

Posted on January 15, 2025

The red carpet pickings are slim because of the wild fires, which means we all get to pick on Monica Barbaro today. The star of A Complete Unknown has been strenuously avoiding theme-dressing and other forms of red carpet stuntery while on this promo tour and for that she has our complete and utter gratitude. It will not, however, prevent us from being bitches when it is warranted.

When it comes to black dresses on the red carpet, we have two requirements that will prevent us from being bitches about them: pick something interesting and make sure the fit is impeccable. On that latter point, we are impressed that this gown is somehow managing to give her cameltoe. As to the former point, we suppose the hood is an interesting element, but it’s so flimsy that we barely even noticed it and we don’t think it works all that well with a plunging neckline. Her hair is obscuring the only other element of interest – those brooches – which leads us to the conclusion that you have to wear this dress exactly like the runway model: hood down, hair either back or short. Otherwise, it’s just a plain black gown with some odd issues. Agree/disagree? Let’s hear it.
