It doesn’t happen often.
Emmy Rossum shows up to a red carpet event and the internet collectively loses its mind. Last week at the opening night of The Whoopi Monologues at the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theare she was there. Just there. But make it there.
She wore a black lace slip dress by Wiederhoeft. It plunged. Low.
Slicked-back bun. Giuseppe Zanotti strappy shoes. Pearls.
No curls. We are used to seeing those curls, but tonight it was a bun. A tight one.
“What I love about curly hair I think that it projects confidence.”
She said it once, on Instagram. How many years she spent straightening it, keratin-ing it, forcing it into a shape it didn’t want to be. Then she stopped. Letting it be natural felt like finally being herself. Unique.
But red carpet nights aren’t always about the narrative of acceptance. Sometimes they are just about the dress. This one? It works. It is sultry. It commands attention.
Who needs a wrap-up? The photos exist. That’s enough. 🖤
