In April 2018, two of Hollywood’s most glamorous actresses, Malin Akerman and Sofia Vergara, made fashion headlines at the Los Angeles premiere of Rampage.
Both stars delivered unforgettable red carpet looks: Malin embraced bold drama in a sculptural black gown with standout designer heels. At the same time, Sofia chose a sleek sequined slip dress paired with statement accessories. Below, we break down every detail of their stunning outfits, including the designers, shoes, and standout fashion elements that made these looks shine.
Malin Akerman Steals the Spotlight at the ‘Rampage’ Premiere
As the main villainess of the video game film adaptation, the Swedish-Canadian “Billions” actress arrived in one of the biggest looks of the night.

Not based on a true story, the movie is inspired by Midway Games’ video game series of the same name. The science fiction monster film was filmed in Chicago, Illinois, and at Third Rail Studios in Doraville, Georgia.
“It was something different, I’ve never played a villain before and I love a good challenge – this definitely was a challenge,” Malin told The Evening Standard about her role as Claire Wyden, the CEO of Energyne responsible for the infection and mutation of George, Ralph, and Lizzie with the mutagenic serum for Project: Rampage.
“I had to try to not smile, to not be friendly, to not be nice. But that was quite a freedom to drop into something completely different. It was actually easier to get into character as it’s so different to how I normally am,” she added.

And what a look it was, all right. Malin’s black Johanna Ortiz dress had head-high ruffles on one shoulder, a one-shoulder style on the other, a twisted bodice, a flesh-baring belly cutout, a high waist, and an eruption of tiered ruffles on the flamenco skirt.

The blonde beauty added even more pieces to her already costume-y look, accessorizing with an Emm Kuo “Guggenheim” pearl-and-marble clutch and Le Silla “Borgia” studded-strap black velvet pumps.

Malin might have overdone her “Rampage” premiere look, but she did look like she was having a lot of fun in it. And that’s what matters.

The Le Silla “Borgia” black velvet pumps with studded patent leather straps — from the Italian shoe label’s Fall 2016 collection — added extra height and elegance to Malin Akerman’s look.
