Since her rapid rise in Hollywood, Brie Larson has captivated audiences with her acting prowess and chic red-carpet style.

Over the years, we’ve had plenty of opportunities to admire her fashion choices, and she continues to impress. Her journey to stardom has led to memorable moments, like her stunningly dramatic look at the 2017 Oscars, where she embraced a dark romance theme that left a lasting impression.

Following her Oscar appearance that year, Brie quickly resumed work to promote Kong: Skull Island. In February 2017, she traveled to London to kick off the European leg of the film’s promotions, bringing her signature style to every event along the way.

After her black strapless Oscars gown, Brie decided to go in the opposite direction with a covered-up Ralph & Russo couture dress in white. The dress showed off her generous cleavage with its low neckline, held in place by a thin layer of tulle. The beautiful skirt was made out of layers of pleated and beaded fabric.

Brie finished her look with jewelry from Fernando Jorge and velvet Jimmy Choo “Holly” sandals. It would be easy to say that her shoes were too heavy for this look, but the trendy velvet material somehow makes this look work.

The American actress also chose Jimmy Choo sandals at the 2017 Screen Actors Guild Awards. Later, in February 2019, she opted for metallic Jimmy Choo shoes at the 2019 Academy Awards.

In the film, the actress plays Mason Weaver, a photographer who sneaks into the mission after having a gut feeling that something isn’t right.

Brie also shared that “Kong: Skull Island” is about “who we are as humans, what’s worth protecting, and our environment.”

In her red carpet interview, Brie expressed deep admiration for Samuel L. Jackson, calling him “a hero” and “a dear friend.” She highlighted the invaluable mentorship he’s provided, saying, “The way that he has been able to be a mentor to me… I feel like every person on this planet deserves that.”

Jackson’s advice left a lasting impact on her, especially after her award wins. He told her, “Now the real work begins,” encouraging her to make thoughtful career choices moving forward. Brie reflected, “Before, I had to audition and it was all luck and chance — now is the real work.”
