Jordyn Woods pulled an unexpected magic trick on the red carpet of the "Avatar: The Way of Water" premiere in Hollywood on Dec. 12. Inspired by the people of Pandora, the model strutted into the premiere in a shimmering blue cutout dress from Dion Lee's fall/winter 2022 collection. While stunning at first glance, the mock-neck midi dress caught Woods's fans by surprise when she revealed on her Instagram Stories [1] that the ensemble's light-reflective material glows in the dark.
At first glance, the gown appears ocean blue — a fitting shade for a movie set underwater — but the slightest change in lighting reveals that each fiber is tinged with silver, creating a mesmerizing illusion similar to the iconic dress meme from 2015 [2]. When Woods stepped off the red carpet and into the dark interior of the premiere party, her dress instantly transformed, resulting in an otherworldly, glow-in-the-dark effect.
Woods's luminescent dress, styled by Karina Salerno [3], featured a ribbed, pinstripe design with elaborate wrist cutouts that evoked the pattern of a snowflake. Below the bust, the cutout motif continued, wrapping around her sides and down her back. Between the cutouts were glimpses of Woods's tiny tattoos [4], including the initial "J" on her left side, her "LA" foot tattoo, and her ankle tattoo.
She paired the silvery-blue outfit with strappy blue Ottolinger flower heels, Solch's long ruffle earrings and Nefertiti ring, and a set of icy-blond waves [5].
At the event, Woods made sure to snap a few photos alongside her younger sister, Jodie Woods [6], who attended the premiere in a blue and white Chet Lo dress made of a 3D spiked fabric, reminiscent of a durian fruit. The dress featured a thigh-high slit and a dramatic asymmetrical waist cutout. Jodie paired the look with stud earrings and strappy heeled sandals [7] by GCDS.
