Amanda Seyfried in Rodarte Dress at Golden Eve Event 2026

The styling leaned into this antique rigor. She wore Tiffany & Co. Schlumberger Apollo Ear Clips and a matching Vigne Ring, heavy gold knots that tried to warm up the stark monochrome but largely just sat there, expensive and serious. Barely visible beneath the heavy hem were the Jimmy Choo Romy Suede Pumps, grounding the look in black suede. She didn’t pose so much as loom, pleasantly, her hands on her hips, creating a silhouette that was stiff, upright, and wonderfully out of time.
There is a strange courage in wearing a governess outfit to a party honoring Sarah Jessica Parker. While the rest of Beverly Hills is doing sequins and sheer mesh, Seyfried is doing textural penance. The Rodarte Velvet & Lace Midi-Dress is undeniably beautiful in a museum sort of way—intricate, well-made, possibly dusty—but on a step-and-repeat, it reads as slightly melodramatic. It’s dark, it’s heavy, and it refuses to be “fun” in the commercial sense. She stands there like a velvet shadow, politely haunting the festivities.
