On April 17, at the Westwood Village Theater in Los Angeles, the stars graced the red carpet for the U.S. debut of the film, following a whirlwind global press tour that spanned cities like Paris, Milan, Rome, and London.
Among the attendees was a lineup of other celebrities who were not associated with the movie and were eager to make a style statement for the cameras, including Zendaya’s Euphoria co-star Storm Reid.

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 opulent black velvet fabric and boasting a chic strapless silhouette, I love how the dress accentuated her slim frame with its figure-hugging design. I admire how it lent her an air of sophistication and maturity.
I would have found her ensemble a tad too dull—however, the meticulously crafted gold bow detailing adorning the waist injected vivacity and drama into her attire.
The oversized textured gold fabric, adorned with delicate flowers, achieved a harmonious blend of classic elegance and contemporary allure.
Elevating Monochromatic Glamour with Delicate Finishing Touches
As Storm Reid’s dress elegantly cascaded to the floor, concealing her footwear, I appreciated that it featured a back center slit, offering a peek at her chosen shoes.
I love that she opted to complement her attire with chic black sandals, enhancing the monochromatic allure of her ensemble. The open toes, ankle straps, and towering stiletto heels added a touch of sophistication, elevating her stunning frame.

Styled by Jason Bolden, I appreciate that the Missing star accessorized her look with delicate David Yurman jewels, allowing the focus to remain 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 and Euphoria’s Production Delay
Storm Reid undoubtedly takes pride in being Zendaya’s co-star, expressing her excitement every time the Dune: Part 2 actress’ 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 onscreen 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.”

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 display of confidence, the An American Girl: Lea to the Rescue actress flaunted her legs, with her chic ensemble transitioning into a floor-length skirt adorned with a daring high slit on one side, extending gracefully up the opposite leg.
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.
