On October 18, 2022, the cast of The School for Good and Evil stepped out in full force and brought their fashion A-game to the Regency Village Theatre for the Los Angeles premiere of their new movie.

Here are 5 of the best-dressed stars at the premiere.

1. Dark Glamour: Charlize Theron Commands the Carpet in Dior Resort 2023

Charlize, who stars as Lady Leonora Lesso, the Dean of the School for Evil, dressed the part in an all-black ensemble from Dior’s Resort 2023 collection, which pays tribute to the “richness of Andalusian savoir-faire in a passionate dialogue between Dior ateliers and Spanish artisans.”

Medieval Drama Meets Modern Edge: Charlize Theron’s Sheer Dior Ensemble and Lace Boots

The 47-year-old actress brought medieval glamour to the carpet, modeling a billowing silk taffeta maxi skirt. It had a modest train, a cummerbund-style waistband, and a daring waist-high slit that showed a glimpse of her knickers and an eyeful of her fishnet-wrapped legs.

She coordinated with black floral lace knee-high boots, a silk sheer button-up shirt with a floral brooch attached to the collar, and a black bra underneath.

Theron opted for soft makeup with glossy pink lipstick, mascara, and a hint of blush on her cheeks. And for her short tresses, she pulled them back into a ponytail with side-swept bangs.

The School for Good and Evil Reviews

Although it was touted as one of the most anticipated movies of the year, The School for Good and Evil unfortunately failed to meet expectations.

It received negative reviews from critics, who praised the cast but criticized the narrative and storytelling. The critics’ consensus reads: “The cast is game and the visuals are dazzling, but a deeply derivative narrative means The School for Good and Evil flunks on the storytelling front.”
