Red Carpet Rundown: THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS Los Angeles Premiere

Posted on July 22, 2025

We gave Vanessa Kirby her own spotlight post because she wore the kind of dress that demands a spotlight, but it’s time to check in on the rest of the attendees of the LA premiere of Fantastic Four: First Steps. Evidently, there were two rules to the dress code: No ties are allowed and all the dresses have to be tacky! Receipts:

While we tend to think the various pieces are kind of random and that the look is over-styled, it all really suits him and he’s not in danger of looking like anyone else there. We’d have suggested ditching the hat, but it tends to give him swag, so it’s not a dealbreaker for us.

It’s a gorgeous tuxedo. We don’t understand why you’d choose to wear it so half-assedly.

Again, we just don’t get why you’d wear a dinner jacket without a tie. Just wear a blazer or a suit if you’re so opposed to neckwear.

Hunh. We guess she felt she had to go with a shade of blue for this one, but we wouldn’t have been mad if she’d stuck to theme-dressing in silver. This is okay. The touches of green lend it a lot of interest, but the textile looks chintzy.

We’re so tired of these tacky-ass frocks.

 

Paul Walter Hauser

A tie! A goofy one, sure, but at least he’s sporting some neckwear. The tux could’ve used some tailoring. Those sleeves look silly.

She looks gorgeous and he is almost making this unlikely combination work for him. The tux is gorgeous, we love the frames, and the curls look great. We’re fine with the scarf, but we hate how it’s tied and we don’t think the tank top works at all. If he really wanted to sport a scoop neck, it might have been better for him in black. You might think we’re nuts, but we think removing the shirt completely would benefit the look.

 

Ralph Ineson

Love the shoes. That’s all we got.

 

Simu Liu
Pin

We’re impressed. He’s never been bad at the red carpet, but this is a surprising level of flawlessness. The problem with silk shirts worn without a tie is that they tend to collapse, but it’s not a dealbreaker for us in this instance.

 

Skai Jackson in Archival Alberto Makali

Unphotogenic and tacky. Sorry, girl.

 

Tony Revolori
Pin

The pose is weird, but the outfit’s pretty great.

 

Xochitl Gomez
Pin

She’s a good Marvel girl who shows up to every single premiere, just waiting for the day she’ll be called up off the bench again. We sure hope she’s in that Avengers movie, for her sake. Anyway, this is all very cute, tipping its hat to the film’s 1960s setting and aesthetic. The hair takes it into costume, however.

 

Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
Pin

It’s just okay. He’ll be playing Wonder Man in an upcoming MCU Disney+ series, which is why he’s sporting the red shades.
