The 6 Best Dressed Stars at the Do Revenge Premiere: From Versace Corsets to Femme LA Sandals

Since its 2022 debut, Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s Do Revenge has solidified its place as a cult-favorite dark comedy, blending Gen-Z sensibilities with the sharp-edged satire of ’90s teen classics.

Set against a sun-drenched Miami backdrop, the Netflix film follows the unlikely alliance between Rosehill High’s dethroned queen bee, Drea (Camila Mendes), and a social outcast, Eleanor (played by Maya Hawke), as they team up to execute a series of calculated takedowns against their respective bullies.

The film’s obsession with high-fashion aesthetics extended well beyond the screen at the Los Angeles premiere held at the Tudum Theater in West Hollywood.

While the movie’s plot—involving leaked tapes and social sabotage—keeps viewers hooked, the red carpet offered a masterclass in footwear and designer styling. Leading the charge, stars Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke turned the event into a definitive fashion moment, showcasing a mix of archival vintage and the season’s most coveted stiletto heels.

Camila Mendes Wears Versace Green With Gold Femme LA Lace-Up Sandals

With the help of her stylist, Molly Dickson, Camila Mendes stood out in a lime green ensemble from Versace’s Autumn/Winter 2022 collection.

She showcased her hourglass figure in a see-through mesh corset top with satin cups, Medusa-embellished straps, built-in gloves, and a curved hem.

Recreating the runway look, Camila put her taut tummy on display and paired the sculpted top with its matching low-rise ruched satin skirt.

Drawing attention to her monochromatic outfit, the full-blooded Brazilian actress wore a sleek half-up hairstyle with soft ends, courtesy of celebrity hairstylist Matthew Collins.

Makeup artist Jen Tioseco, meanwhile, used Armani Beauty to give Camila a luminous look. She applied neutral-tone makeup with mascara and satin lipstick. The Riverdale star accessorized her look with Versace Medusa textured earrings.

She then created a cohesive look and further styled her outfit with a $1,525 gold La Medusa mini bag and a pair of “The London” lace-up sandals from Los Angeles-based fashion footwear brand Femme LA, which we’ve previously spotted on Chrissy Teigen.

Maya Hawke Channels ’80s Glam in Vintage Alaïa and Piferi Heels

Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman’s daughter, Maya, went the retro route and opted for a pink velvet Alaïa dress that featured an ‘80s-style argyle print around the neck.

The 24-year-old actress appeared braless beneath the fitted, long-sleeved number, which she bought at the Aralda Vintage store.

While straight in real life, Maya also portrays the lesbian character Robin Buckley on Stranger Things. Since February 2022, Maya Hawke has reportedly been dating musician Spencer Barnett.

Adding some sparkle to the look, Maya accessorized with a pair of drop earrings and a few silver-toned rings.

She kept the retro theme going by styling her blonde hair in a bob with ‘80s fringe and wearing mascara, pink blush, and mauve lip color.

Sophie Turner Steps Out in Louis Vuitton Black With Cap-Toe Pumps

It’d only been two months since she gave birth to her second daughter with singer Joe Jonas, but Sophie Turner was already showing off her snatched waist in a black figure-skimming dress by Louis Vuitton.

Her stylist Kate Young selected a black satin tea-length dress with a sweetheart neckline and a cinched-in waist to flatter the mother-of-two’s stunning post-baby curves. It’s designed with zips on the sides of the bodice, finished with shoulder straps and a side slit.

Sophie, who plays Erica Norman in the movie, skipped the jewelry so her dress could do the talking. She only wore her engagement ring and paired her frock with Louis Vuitton black pumps with gold-tone cap toes.

Creating a dark vampy look, makeup artist Georgie Eisdell gave the Game of Thrones star smoky eyeshadow with brushed-up eyebrows and mascara. Hairstylist Gregory Russell simply set her long red tresses in soft, glossy waves.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Sparkles in Prabal Gurung With Dolce & Gabbana Platforms

Director Robinson revealed that she dreamed of having Sarah Michelle Gellar in her teen comedy.

“She was my first dream choice. And it was one of those things where you don’t think she’s going to do it. I was like, ‘Yeah, of course, let’s offer it to her and see what happens,’” Jennifer Kaytin Robinson told IndieWire.

Although Gellar is only making a cameo as the Headmaster in Do Revenge, her role in the 1999 teen romantic drama film Cruel Intentions influenced the film.

After Sarah Michelle signed on, Robinson rewrote all of the Headmaster’s dialogue.

“I just heard her and sat there and literally thought about Kathryn from Cruel Intentions, like, if she were the headmaster of the school, what advice would she give?”

Paris Berelc Shines in Galvan Sequins Paired With Tom Ford Heels

Similar to Sarah Michelle Gellar, Paris Berelc, who’s playing Meghan Perez in the film, also glimmered in a sequin-embellished dress.

The 23-year-old Mighty Med actress, known for her role in the Netflix sitcom Alexa & Katie, highlighted her curves in a Galvan dress with a body-hugging silhouette, racerback, and floor-sweeping hem.

She kept her accessories to a minimum, wearing just a pair of diamond stud earrings and statement rings by Bondeye Jewelry. Adding extra inches to her height, Paris slipped into a pair of Tom Ford heels.

Her hairstylist, Lea Journo, gave her voluminous, bouncy curls, while makeup artist Pauly Blanch created a sultry beauty look with bronze smoky cat eye shadow and matching lipstick.

How Do Revenge Channels ’90s Teen Movies Through Fashion

While the plot of Do Revenge was inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s 1951 psychological thriller Strangers on a Train, in which two men decide to swap murders, Jennifer Robinson put a GenZ spin on the classic film by filling the movie with several Easter eggs that pay homage to a number of classic teen movies of the 1990s.

“I’m obsessed with high school movies. But very specifically, this type of film that I just feel like doesn’t get made anymore,” Robinson told The New York Times. The movie pays homage to classic teen revenge movies such as Jawbreaker (1999), Cruel Intentions (1999), Heathers (1988), Mean Girls (2004), John Tucker Must Die (2006), 10 Things I Hate About You (1999), and Clueless (1995)

“I feel like what’s funny and great about this film is that people pick up on Easter eggs I didn’t even mean. I feel like there are more of them that are literal accidents that are just in my brain… and I made choices that were influenced by the films that I grew up on,” Robinson said in an interview with Tudum.

In the movie, the Rosehill high school students are clad in pastel plaid uniforms—a nod to the 1995 coming-of-age teen comedy Clueless.

In addition, a school parking space sign reads “Horowitz,” a reference to Cher Horowitz, a character in Clueless played by Alicia Silverstone.

Drea is also seen in a birthday dress similar to the reunion outfits worn by the lead stars in the 1997 comedy Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

There are also references from the 1999 teen black comedy crime Jawbreaker (the use of the “DUMBTCH” license plate), the 1988 black comedy Heathers (croquet), and the 2004 teen comedy Mean Girls.
