Laura Dern, the award-winning actress, made a stylish statement at the 'Is This Thing On?' premiere in Los Angeles, donning a vintage Marc Jacobs dress from the brand's fall 2011 collection. The actress, known for her roles in 'Big Little Lies' and 'Marriage Story', collaborated with stylist Elizabeth Stewart to create a look that was both timeless and trendy. The dress, modeled by Jourdan Dunn on the runway 14 years ago, featured a long-sleeve design in an autumnal burgundy color, appearing to be crafted from suede. A contrasting black panel cut across the bodice, adding an element of intrigue to the otherwise pared-back silhouette, while light gray accents at the neckline and cuffs provided a subtle finishing touch.
Dern paired the archival dress with a tailored black blazer with sharp shoulders and glossy maroon knee-high boots, tying the color palette together. Her makeup was soft and dewy, complementing her hallmark blond hair in loose waves. The 'Big Little Lies' star was joined by her co-stars Andra Day, Kristen Wiig, and Will Arnett on the red carpet. Day opted for a long black lace gown with feather-bedecked sleeves, while Wiig chose a high-shine satin black blazer and straight-leg trousers, coordinating with Arnett, who arrived in a sharp navy suit.
Directed by Bradley Cooper, the comedy-drama film 'Is This Thing On?' follows Alex and Tess Novak (Arnett and Dern), a married couple with kids in the suburbs of New York, who decide to get a divorce in their forties. Navigating the separation, Alex dabbles in the New York comedy scene. Cooper plays Balls, a wannabe actor and Alex's best friend. The film, which hit theaters on December 19, has already generated buzz and excitement among audiences and critics alike. But here's where it gets controversial... Some may argue that the film's portrayal of divorce and the complexities of relationships could be seen as too simplistic or unrealistic. And this is the part most people miss... The film's strength lies in its ability to balance humor and drama, offering a nuanced look at the human experience. So, what do you think?
