If there was ever a moment destined for bridal drama without the wedding, Charli XCX delivered it at the Wuthering Heights premiere. Perhaps she’s still basking in being a new bride, from her wedding with The 1975 member George Daniel back in July. Skipping the predictable red-carpet formula altogether, the pop provocateur arrived veiled, wearing a pale blush, off-the-shoulder Erdem gown topped with a sheer cathedral-length veil that felt equal parts Gothic romance and anti-bride fantasy.
The gown itself leaned Victorian in spirit but modern in all the right ways. Soft pink lace cascaded to the floor in a full skirt, while the neckline sat delicately off the shoulders, exposing collarbones. But at the center of the dress was its most arresting detail: a black, dripping corset motif that ran vertically down the bodice, like ink bleeding through tulle. It was bridalwear reimagined through a darker lens.
Then there was the veil. Long and intentionally severe, it softened Charli’s face while adding an eerie, cinematic weight to the look. Worn loose over sleek, center-parted hair, the veil evoked an unmistakable nod to Wuthering Heights’s drama.
Charli has never played by red carpet rules, and this appearance was no exception. The look sat somewhere between a couture bride and a ghostly muse. If everyone else came in gowns, Charli came in character.
