Having premiered on the runway for Simone Rocha during London Fashion Week last month, it seems that Chloë Sevigny is lovingly taking the designer’s work for a spin on the red carpet, too. To mark the launch of her latest true crime series The Act in New York on March 14, she debuted the all-black tulle mid-length dress with capped puff sleeves – and adorned it with matching black accessories, too.Designer Simone Rocha On Femininity And Paying Homage To Ancestry.
The all-round style legend – who joined Lily Cole and Marie Sophie Wilson for Rocha’s autumn/winter 2019 show – has long triumphed in the style stakes, especially when it comes to red carpet events. Her friendship with Rocha has been a long-standing one, and only further cemented by her joining Rocha’s diverse line-up of real women. “This collection I was thinking about security, privacy and intimacy. That made me think of the human body and I thought it was really important to show it on all these different bodies,” Rocha told Vogue of the casting.
In The Act, the New York-based actor takes on the role of Mel for the seasonal anthology TV series. Written by Nick Antosca and Michelle Dean and directed by Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre, the series is based on Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who murdered her mother Dee Dee Blanchard in 2015. Detailing their alleged toxic relationship, the series sees Blanchard (played by Joey King) fight for her freedom from her restrictive mother before killing her.Chloë Sevigny Leads A Cast Of Fabulously Real Women At Simone Rocha
