Jessica Chastain’s style takes off while promoting ‘The Martian’ and ‘Crimson Peak’
Jessica Chastain is pulling double duty promoting two films in theaters: the interplanetary hit The Martian and the new and otherworldly Crimson Peak. USA TODAY’s Mary Cadden rounds up the star’s latest looks for a master class in stellar style.
Basically beautiful in basic black (and white)
Nothing is more stylish than a little black dress, except perhaps one with peekaboo white. Chastain’s black and white crepe dress at the Vogue and Ralph Lauren Wimbledon party June 22 hits all the right notes.
Simply flawless
Chastain looks ready to walk the runway at Ralph Lauren’s Spring 2016 show Sept. 17 in a wide-legged jumpsuit by the designer. She smartly forgoes accessories, letting the vibrant blue color and asymmetric neckline be embellishment enough.
A marvel in lace
Combining lace and color blocking and pulling it off is no easy feat. Chastain rocks this Preen dress paired with Jimmy Choo shoes at San Diego Comic-Con July 11 in superhero style.
Study in contrast
Chastain’s rich midnight blue velvet Givenchy dress at The Martian’s Toronto film festival premiere is perfection against her porcelain skin.
Glamour girl
Chastain brings fullon Hollywood glam to London in a sparkly black-on-black Elie Saab Haute Couture at The Martian premiere Sept. 24. The pop of emerald Piaget earrings complement her dress rather than compete with it on the red carpet.
She glows
The actress shines in the spotlight at EW’s Must List party Sept. 12 at the Toronto International Film Festival in a Prabal Gurung dress and Jimmy Choo shoes. The warm metallic top complements her copper mane.
Comfortable couture
Chastain beautifully balances fashion and practicality at the openingnight production of Otello at the Metropolitan Opera Sept. 21. Her Elie Saab Resort 2016 top and pants are a perfect pairing for an evening at the opera.
Balancing act
The actress’ Moroccaninspired Lanvin dress and its simple silhouette perfectly balance the added tassels and ivory fringe at a photo call Sept. 11 for The Martian at the Toronto International Film Festival. Christian Louboutin shoes complete the look.
