Chloë Grace Moretz Channels Sharp Dolce & Gabbana Tailoring With Satin Bow Pumps at the Movie 43 Premiere

Chloë Grace Moretz’s early red-carpet appearances often served as a masterclass in age-appropriate high fashion. A standout example occurred on January 23, 2013, at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, where the then-15-year-old actress demonstrated the enduring appeal of feminine tailoring for the premiere of Movie 43.

While menswear-inspired looks are a staple of modern celebrity style, Moretz’s execution remains a reference point for balancing sharp lines with youthful, romantic textures.

Her choice of Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo separates, anchored by sculptural satin footwear, highlights a “masculine-feminine” aesthetic that continues to influence red-carpet trends.

At the ‘Movie 43’ LA Premiere on January 23, 2013, Chloë Grace Moretz elegantly sported a Dolce & Gabbana ensemble featuring a tuxedo jacket with lace lapels, a lace-trimmed bib blouse, stretch wool tuxedo trousers, and satin bow pumps

This look marked one of Chloë’s earliest forays into more structured, grown-up tailoring beyond her usual red-carpet gowns.

The masculine-feminine mix suited her perfectly—clean lines, soft lace details, and head-to-toe Dolce & Gabbana styling that felt both sophisticated and still age-appropriate.

While Chloë’s tailored look leaned into sharp, androgynous lines, she wasn’t the only one making a statement that evening. The Movie 43 premiere also saw a diverse range of dark, structured styles from stars like Ricki Noel Lander (True Blood, Iron Man) and Samaire Armstrong (The O.C., Dirty Sexy Money).
