West Side Story's Rachel Zegler [1] can rock a ball gown, but this one wins the award for dreamiest. The rising star [2], who was also cast as Snow White [3] for the live-action remake, works with stylist Sarah Slutsky [4] for the red carpet, having worn dresses by Dior, Carolina Herrera, and Michael Kors before. But for the LA premiere of West Side Story [5], the duo tapped the Elie Saab fashion house for a blush-toned gown with a sweetheart neckline covered in sequins and a chiffon trailing skirt finished with floral embroidery and built up with tulle. A velvet bow cinches the waist, making the look appear all the more feminine and princess-like.
Accessories were wisely kept minimal — just delicate Neil Lane drop earrings, Jimmy Choo shoes, and a Tyler Ellis envelope clutch to complement the tone and texture of the belt. Zegler joined her castmates [6], including Ariana DeBose, Ansel Elgort, Rita Moreno, Mike Faist, Josh Andrés, David Alvarez, and filmmaker Steven Spielberg [7], posing with prowess and (perhaps unintentionally) stealing the whole damn show in this masterpiece of a dress. Read on to zoom in on the details of her look, then get familiar with her incredible voice [8] as you allow yourself to be mesmerized by her covers on YouTube.
