Sartorially embracing the chasms of an ever-expanding cinematic universe is a tough ask for any veteran actor or red carpet virtuoso—especially when it comes to the expansive multiverse that is Marvel Studios. So, when Emma Corrin was cast as the villainous telekinetic mutant Cassandra Nova in the imminent third instalment of the Deadpool trilogy, Deadpool & Wolverine, it was understood their assignment would be to deliver fashion of epic proportions. (As famously quipped in the Spiderman franchise; “With great power comes great responsibility”.)
Corrin has become somewhat of a style chameleon since shedding the remnants of breakout role, Princess Diana in the award-winning fourth season of The Crown. Embracing both the most eccentric offerings—JW Anderson’s trompe l’oeil fish bag dress—and devilishly chic—their custom Miu Miu column dress with matching swim cap and talon opera gloves from the 2021 Emmy Awards—obscurity and opulence meld into one under their guise. Indeed, Corrin would never be caught ‘method dressing’ when they can bend luxury creations to fit their own narrative.
While we might never see Corrin directly pay homage to the metal claws possessed by Hugh Jackman’s anti-hero Wolverine, or the red spandex worn by Ryan Reynold’s Deadpool, we will receive a comic book-sized fantasy worth revisiting again and again. Such was the case for their first promotional outing in Berlin. Eschewing the surreal for the glamorous, Corrin embraced the cabaret and Kit Kat clubs the city is synonymous with in a pantless suspender satin dress from Saint Laurent. With more looks up their and stylist Harry Lambert’s sleeve, acquaint yourself with all the looks that prove fashion is Corrin’s superpower.
Every Look Emma Corrin Wore On The Deadpool & Wolverine Press Tour
Berlin, Germany
Emma Corrin commenced their official marketing duties in an unconventional three-piece suit containing differing tailoring staples. Their crimson red cropped shirt was paired with an aptly selected Prince of Wales check jacket and horizontal stripe trousers.
Berlin, Germany — Saint Laurent
Taking to their first red carpet event for the film, Corrin reaffirmed that elegance will be a perpetual Hollywood staple. The actor selected a wrapped mini dress with high-neck detailing and garter accents from Saint Laurent’s deliciously diaphanous Fall/Winter 2024 collection.
London, England — Schiaparelli
Buckle in for an adventure. Or at least, that is what Corrin’s couture leather jacket from Schiaparelli is signalling to audiences. On the next stop of the global tour, Corrin and their cast mates headed to their native London. Shifting into fashion overdrive, Corrin donned look eight from Daniel Roseberry’s mechanical-inspired Spring/Summer 2024 Haute Couture collection.
The piece featured an asymmetrical jacket in crocodile-effect embossed black technical velvet, enhanced by an oversized collar in contrasting white satin embroidered with tonal micro-tubes, rhinestones and silk threads, and cowboy-inspired silver-plated buckles. Corrin completed the outfit with extra-wide cotton denim pants and crocodile-effect embossed patent black leather cowboy boots.
Rio de Janeiro — 16Arlington
Emma Corrin found refuge in 16Arlington’s “spooky” Fall/Winter 2024 collection, wearing a custom variant of the London-based brand’s 19th look during an outing in Rio de Janeiro. Earlier in the week, Corrin was spotted embracing their inner coastal grandmother with boyfriend Rami Malek while strolling along Brazil’s famous Ipanema Beach. Yet, here the soft linens and slouchy knits give way to a subversive fashion statement, especially when posed underneath one of the seven wonders of the world—the Christ the Redeemer statue.
The gown featured a high neck mesh bodice and drop waist skirt connected by tesselating arches. The look pays homage to Corrin’s shapeshifting character, Cassandra Nova, proving that they’re the canvas ready to be moulded into whatever fashion fantasy the mood calls for.
Rio de Janeiro — Dilara Fındıkoğlu
Later that evening, Corrin changed into an avant-garde feather dress from Turkish-British designer Dilara Fındıkoğlu. The sculpted gown featured a structured waist and exaggerated hip pads to create an almost doll-like silhouette. The bodice of the dress was covered in feathers before finishing in a wash of high-gloss acrylic white paint.
The juxtaposition between the touch, rigid shape and delicate material was a talking point of much buzz when the look debuted during the designer’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection presentation at London Fashion Week. Yet, what was more widely discussed was the obvious references to Alexander McQueen’s monumental “Voss” collection from Spring/Summer 2001.
Fındıkoğlu’s homage to one of British fashion’s greats is a sublime interpretation. We know this look, especially on Corrin, would’ve received Lee’s tick of approval.
