Attending the 69th BFI London Film Festival: The Academy party at The Dorchester in London, England, on October 11, Amanda Seyfried presented a masterclass in modern, understated power dressing. She opted for an all-black ensemble anchored by a dramatically oversized blazer, which was allowed to drape off the shoulders, suggesting a casual confidence. The structured jacket was paired with impeccably tailored black trousers featuring a subtle vertical crease, a choice that lengthens the silhouette and provides a grounding contrast to the blazer’s relaxed cut.
The visual focus is on texture and silhouette: the matte black of the suiting fabrics against the subtle shimmer of her inner garment and the gleam of her pointed black patent pumps. The only break in the monochrome comes from her jewelry, providing strategic points of light that elevate the ensemble from business attire to red carpet fashion. The most striking element is the barely-there gleam of her Tiffany & Co. Victoria Necklace in Platinum with a Pear-Shaped Diamond, visible against the dark backdrop of her outfit. As one of the popular celebrities of the London film circuit, Seyfried’s look speaks to a powerful command of evening style without the need for traditional voluminous gowns.
