Accompanied by her mother, Robyn Simpson Reid, the 20-year-old American actress came out to support her on-screen “big sister” on this significant occasion.
True to her fashion-forward reputation, Storm’s stunning black Raisa Vanessa dress from the designer’s Fall 2024 collection captivated attention.
When I first saw the dress, I was immediately reminded of Olivia Wilde’s striking ensemble from the star-studded 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Los Angeles last month, drawn in by its similarly daring plunging neckline.

Fashioned from rich black velvet and cut into a sleek strapless silhouette, the gown hugged her frame beautifully, giving her a refined, grown-up elegance.
The look could have skewed overly minimalist, but the meticulously crafted gold bow at the waist transformed it instantly — adding shape, shine, and a burst of personality.
The oversized, textured metallic fabric, dotted with delicate floral detailing, struck a perfect balance between classic glamour and contemporary drama.
Elevating Monochromatic Glamour with Delicate Finishing Touches
As the velvet gown pooled gracefully to the floor, its back center slit offered a subtle glimpse of her footwear. Storm completed the look with sleek black sandals that reinforced the outfit’s monochromatic sophistication.
The open toes, slim ankle straps, and sky-high stiletto heels added just enough polish and height to elevate the entire silhouette.

Styled by Jason Bolden, the Missing star accessorized her look with delicate David Yurman jewels, keeping the focus on her dress. The silver pendant necklace, matching earrings, bracelet, and multiple rings added subtle elegance to her overall appearance.
I applaud Storm’s glam team for their impeccable finishing touches. The glamorous makeup, featuring dark mascara, bronzy cheeks, and nude lips, perfectly complemented her look.

Storm Reid’s Zendaya Fangirl Moment & Honest Update on Euphoria Season 3
Storm Reid undoubtedly takes pride in being Zendaya’s co-star, expressing her excitement every time the Dune: Part 2 actress’s outfit of the day from the Challengers press tour graces her social media feed.
During an interview with E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the event, she humorously remarked, “I follow her, I follow her stylist, I follow people close to her. I’m still a fangirl in that way.”
The Invisible Man star believes that her on-screen sister excels in various aspects. Apart from Zendaya’s impeccable fashion choices, Storm has nothing but admiration for her upcoming sports film.
Expressing her anticipation, she stated, “I’ve been waiting on pins and needles to see it. I’m so proud of her.”
Meanwhile, despite the production delay of Euphoria, Storm Reid remains optimistic. While HBO confirmed the postponement of the teen drama’s third season and the ongoing development of new scripts, she continues to radiate positivity, hopeful for the show’s eventual return.
She remarked, “We’re on pause right now, but we’re anxious to get back. If it’s meant to be, we’ll be back soon, and we’ll give the audience what they want and deserve.”
Adding a note of hope, Storm emphasized, “Hopefully, we will be back.”
Neutral Sculptural Glam at the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards
On April 9, 2024, Storm Reid attended the 2024 Fashion Trust U.S. Awards in Los Angeles, where esteemed honors in sustainability, inclusivity, accessories, and jewelry were bestowed.

Asymmetrical Lines, High Slit Drama, and Satin Platforms for a Sculptural Red-Carpet Moment
Her attire boasted an asymmetrical design, with one side appearing longer than the other. The single-draped long sleeve and waist cutout added an element of allure, offering a subtle peek at her midriff.
In a confident display of red-carpet ease, the actress showed off her legs as her gown flowed into a floor-skimming skirt punctuated by a daring, asymmetrical high slit that swept elegantly across the opposite side.
I love Storm’s choice of footwear to complement her ensemble. She enhanced her modelesque figure with a pair of Andrea Wazen Loulou 150 pumps that perfectly coordinated with the rest of her look.
Her champagne-colored platform sandals exuded timeless elegance. Crafted entirely from satin, they featured peep-toes, ankle straps, and towering stiletto heels for an added height boost.

She selected dainty accessories, including a gold Pomellato Pom Pom Dot necklace with a pendant and matching 8 Other Reasons Shell hoop earrings. The actress also carried a silver Miu Miu Classic Logo Matelasse bag to hold her essentials during the event.
For the finishing touches, her glam team opted for a glamorous makeup palette, dark eyeshadow, and mauve lips. They added a hint of retro charm with spit curls, her hair elegantly parted at the side and cascading down the front of her shoulders.
Red-Carpet Drama: Balmain Floral Embellishments & Red Louboutin Pumps
In February, Storm Reid graced the grey carpet at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards in Los Angeles, joining a constellation of celebrities in attendance.

Floral Beadwork Meets Bold Red Heels for a Striking Balmain Moment
Adorned with intricate floral beadwork, the floor-length attire featured short sleeves, a plunging neckline, and a daring high center slit, offering a glimpse of her toned legs.
Elevating her ensemble with a bold statement, Storm paired her dress with vibrant red satin Christian Louboutin “Pigalle Follies” pumps.
These iconic shoes boasted pointed toes and the signature red leather sole, which added a striking contrast and a 4.25-inch height boost. They are a classic choice that we have seen worn by many A-list stars, including Diane Kruger, Mariah Carey, and Emilia Clarke.
