Lucy Liu Revives Tea Party Glamour In Textured White Halter Midi

Lucy Liu commanded the red carpet at the BAFTA Tea Party, unveiling a unique, textured white celebrity dress that masterfully fused a conservative high neck with a daring deep V.

On September 27, 2025, at the Mandarin Oriental in New York, the BAFTA North America’s New York Tea Party saw Lucy Liu champion a look that was both traditionally elegant and subtly rebellious. Eschewing the typical floor-length gown for a more refined cocktail length, she offered a fashion moment that felt fresh and utterly timeless.

The centerpiece of the celebrity look is the brilliant white halter dress, a garment that showcases a remarkable sense of cut and texture. The silhouette falls to a midi-length with a full, structured A-line skirt. The fabric is the true star—it possesses a rich, embossed or crinkled texture that gives the white depth and complexity, preventing the dress from appearing flat. The neckline is an architectural study in contrasts: a high, turtleneck-style halter neck flows dramatically into a bold, plunging deep V-neckline that creates an arresting visual tension. The banded waist cinches the figure before the skirt flares out with effortless volume.
