Yesterday, the latest installment in the X-Men saga landed in cinemas to feverish anticipation, taking a legendary comic book storyline and thrusting its heroes into another epic battle of good vs. evil. To one actress who plays Storm, the premiere wasn't just another event: it was a chance for both herself and the team behind her show-stopping look to shine.
Alexandra Shipp wore a bespoke gown by Christopher John Rodgers, Shipp while celebrating the talents of one of fashion's rising stars, she shared "I wanted this to be a moment." "I want to use my platform to not only work with incredible artists but to also share my spotlight with a talented minority designer.”
And indeed it was a moment, with a dramatic bodice and ruffled skirt in ice blue satin, the dress captured the feminine side of the superhero’s persona while staying true to Shipp's tastes.
