At the Euphoria Season 3 premiere in Hollywood, April 2026, Emmanuelle Chriqui went for a black off-shoulder column gown with a dramatic feather neckline, and the shoe choice is surprisingly quiet.
Fringe on a fitted dress is always a gamble, and Alison Brie didn’t play it safe.
Alison Brie arrived at the Fashion Trust U.S. 2026 Awards at Nya Studios in Los Angeles, California on April 08, 2026, wearing a strapless celebrity dress in a metallic checkerboard pattern that shifts between champagne, gold, and silver tones. It’s very red carpet in the best way: one strong fabric, one strong silhouette.
The shape is a clean, close-to-the-body column through the torso, then it breaks into a swishy fringe zone at the lower skirt. And that’s where your eye goes—fast. Those long metallic strands add movement with every step, which is great for red carpet arrivals, but they also visually “lower” the hemline, so the dress can start to feel heavier at the bottom if you’re not careful.
Now, the shoes: gold open-toe sandals that echo the dress without competing. Simple. And honestly, that’s the correct call; anything louder would’ve turned this into a costume.
Here’s my personal, objective take: the fabric and neckline are a win, but the fringe placement is a little awkward from this angle, like it’s trying to be a party-dress detail on a more formal silhouette. I might’ve preferred either a shorter fringe hit (higher up) or a cleaner finish with no fringe at all. But if you want a fashion moment that’s not just another plain metallic tube, this at least has personality.
And the bangs with the straight, down hair keep it friendly—no extra styling theatrics. Because the dress is already doing plenty.
