Throwback to 2015: Bella Thorne embraced bold, statement‑making fashion at the New York premiere of Jeremy Scott: The People’s Designer — but as with many risks, this one didn’t entirely pay off.

Bella Thorne Takes a Risk in Moschino and Saint Laurent at Jeremy Scott’s Documentary Premiere
For the 2015 debut of the documentary celebrating Moschino’s creative director, the actress opted for a pink chain‑embellished dress from the Moschino Resort 2016 collection, paired with glittery Saint Laurent “Jane” sandals — a minimalist heel beloved for its sleek ankle strap and cigarette‑thin stiletto. To top it off, she added a dramatically poufed red hairstyle that brought a retro‑inspired edge.
While the look captured Jeremy Scott’s fearless, pop‑culture‑infused aesthetic, the combination of glam metallics, playful chains, and exaggerated hair ultimately felt more chaotic than cohesive. Bella nailed Scott’s fun and quirky personality a year earlier in 2014, but this red‑carpet moment missed the mark.

Jeremy Scott’s Bold Aesthetic: When Risk-Taking Misses the Mark
Jeremy Scott is known for his loud, playful, and often satirical designs that blend pop culture, kitsch, and humor—a style that has made him a favorite among celebrities like Cardi B, Madonna, and Lady Gaga.
As the creative director of Moschino from 2013 to 2023, Scott’s aesthetic thrives on bold risks. Still, in this case, Bella’s look feels less like an intentional statement and more like a combination of elements that didn’t come together.

Bella Thorne’s dramatic poufed hairstyle, which she paired with a pink Moschino dress, was perhaps the most polarizing part of her outfit
Maybe this is also why the 19-year-old didn’t post about the event anywhere on her social media. We sympathize with you, Bella. At least her shoes are pretty to look at.
