The gloves make this one quieter than expected. At the Elle UK special screening at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London on June 30, 2026, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu pink gown chose a pale blush red carpet look with an off-the-shoulder top, a sheer midriff panel, and matching long gloves.
The gown starts with a wide, horizontal top section pulled across the shoulders and upper arms. That part is heavily gathered, with the fabric sitting in soft rows from side to side. It gives the upper frame width, but not stiffness. The *off-the-shoulder* line also leaves the neck bare, which is the right call with hair this shaped and glossy.
The most useful dress details sit just below that top band. Under the bust, a curved sheer-looking panel opens through the midriff, framed by the pale pink fabric around it. It’s a risky detail, but here it’s handled with enough control. The panel doesn’t take over the whole dress. It just interrupts the pink column before the skirt drops straight to the floor.
And that straight drop matters. The skirt is long, narrow, and soft through the lower half, hiding the footwear completely. No shoe distraction. No extra color at the base. With a look this pale, that keeps the eye on the upper construction: gathered shoulder band, sheer curve, long gloves, face.
The matching gloves are the styling choice I’d keep. They extend past the elbows and fall loosely over the hands, which makes them feel less formal than tight opera gloves. That soft drape is useful because the top already has a lot of horizontal gathering. If the gloves had been sharp and fitted, the whole outfit might’ve turned too bridal-adjacent or too costume-like. Here, they add length without adding hardness.
Her hair pushes the look in a more finished direction. The blonde-highlighted waves are center-parted and shaped into smooth curves around the shoulders, while the makeup stays warm with defined brows, contoured cheeks, dark lashes, and a muted pink lip. The face is quite done, but the outfit needs that. A bare beauty finish would’ve made the pale gown feel washed out against all that pink around her.
There’s also a small proportion lesson here. If you’re wearing a soft strapless or off-shoulder dress, one controlled sheer panel can sharpen the middle without requiring a belt. The panel acts like a built-in pause. It separates the gathered top from the long skirt and gives the eye a place to reset.
The event context helps explain the full pink commitment. This was a Prime Video *Elle* screening, with a pink arrival space and guests including Leonie Hanne, Lottie Moss, and Demi Jones. Ekin-Su didn’t try to fight the color story. She stayed inside it, but used gloves and paneling to make the celebrity look less predictable.
For celebrity red carpet styling, this is a good example of tone control. The color is sweet, the cut is soft, and the gloves add drama, but the straight skirt keeps everything from becoming too busy.
7.5/10 – the sheer waist panel gives the gown structure, but the loose gloves are what make the pink feel more considered.
