Actor-director Chloë Sevigny recaps some of her most memorable red-carpet moments.
“The dress I wore at Cannes the year ‘Brown Bunny’ [screened] was Alber [Elbaz] for Lanvin — which was one of his first Lanvin collections,” Sevigny said of another favorite dress. “It was a peach[-colored] patterned dress with all these crystals on netting. He had just started doing that and it was very him. I went without hair or makeup and I just felt very fresh in that dress. I still have it — I wore it to a wedding a couple of years ago — there’s just something very delicate about it that I love.” (KRT)
“Haley [Wollens] pulled a bunch of references to old Mugler, sent them to [creative director] Casey [Cadwallader], he did a bunch of sketches, they talked about it, he created a custom [dress] and then we did the fitting in Paris,” said Sevigny of the black silk crepe dress with a thigh-high leg slit. “The gloves came up and around [the shoulders] and across my back and then around the front almost like a choker, and it had this very pale pink, almost flesh-colored bustier. I liked it because it was custom, it had a train, that glove situation ... it just felt very glamorous. I wore it with this insanely big Chopard diamond piece.” (Daniele Venturelli / WireImage)
“[One of my favorites was] actually this year’s Vanity Fair party when I wore Preen,” said Sevigny. “It was black and kind of super-booby and [I wore] a big hair bow. [Stylist] Haley [Wollens] and I did that together and I went with Natasha [Lyonne] and she wore a black cocktail dress too. It just felt really fun to be there and I don’t necessarily showcase my décolletage that often so that was sort of fun too. I wasn’t taking myself too seriously.” (Daniele Venturelli / WireImage)

“I liked the Simone [Rocha] dress I wore to the Met Gala, which didn’t get that much press that year. It had a little cutout in the behind — you could see a little bit of my bum — and it was just sort of unexpected. I feel like so many actresses go and they’re [just there in] in a pretty gown. This was a little more edgy.” (Kevin Mazur / WireImage)
