Chloë Sevigny starred alongside Natasha Lyonne in the 2016 psychedelic horror film Antibirth, written and directed by Danny Perez. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 25, 2016.
At the time, Sevigny was 41 and Lyonne was 36, with the real-life age gap subtly mirroring their dynamic as longtime best friends in the film.
The film’s offbeat, surreal tone was matched by Sevigny’s fashion-forward approach to the red carpet.

Chloë Sevigny is known for her unique and quirky fashion sense, and nobody was surprised when the then-41-year-old actress stuck to her signature style for the premiere of the 2016 psychedelic body horror film Antibirth” in Los Angeles.
In August 2016, Chloë turned heads in a black-and-red jersey dress from Gucci’s Fall 2016 collection as she arrived at the Cinefamily Theater.

The vintage-inspired dress featured a high neck with contrasting lace trim, pearl embellishments, and a crystal insignia.

Chloë teamed the thigh-grazing number with an eccentric pair of Gucci pumps. She carried a metallic gold Gucci purse and wore very minimal jewelry.
In the film, Chloë Sevigny plays Sadie, the loyal but increasingly concerned best friend of Lou, portrayed by Natasha Lyonne, a drug-addled woman who becomes mysteriously pregnant after taking a strange substance.

Natasha Lyonne Goes Edgy in Faith Connexion Leather Jacket and Black Heels at Antibirth Premiere
Alongside co-star Chloë Sevigny, Orange Is the New Black actress Natasha Lyonne stepped out for the Antibirth premiere at the Cinefamily Theater in Los Angeles wearing a bold all-black ensemble. She paired a Faith Connexion off-the-shoulder sailor-style leather jacket—complete with zipper detailing—with a white sleeveless turtleneck and tailored black trousers.
Lyonne accessorized with black heels, Jennifer Fisher jewelry, and her signature curls. While the edgy jacket was on-trend, the look felt slightly underwhelming overall—perhaps due to the choice of pants or the absence of a bold lip.

At just 5ft 1½ in (156.2 cm), Lyonne’s petite frame contrasted sharply with Chloë Sevigny’s statuesque 5ft 7 in (170.2 cm) height, making the visual pairing as striking as their on-screen chemistry.
