Jodie Turner-Smith shorted the red carpet.
The actress brings new meaning to the term “wearable technology” at the premiere of “Tron: Ares” in Paris on Wednesday night, wearing an incredible sheapareli couture dress built from old computer parts.
The 39-year-old actress, who starred in the highly anticipated sequel to the sci-fi franchise, paid tribute to the film’s digital universe, meticulously sewed it into a structured silhouette with salvaged circuit boards, computer chips and electronic components.
Designer Daniel Roseberry overlooks Cia Parrelli’s spring 2024 haute couture runway to explore the tension between the full tilt embrace of society’s artificial intelligence and the nostalgia of Y2K-era artifacts such as flip-phones and digital cameras.
Of his pre-2007 technique of adorning dresses, he told reporters:
Turner-Smith paired it with the same gorgeous frocks and the same gorgeous frocks as the labels featured on the runway, along with large Tiffany Hardware link earrings ($1,925) and a clear skyscraper pump.
The “Queen & Slim” star was styled by Law Roach. Roach posted a facial expression on Instagram with the caption, “Ah, that’s couture…”
“Mother wearing a mother-styled motherboard!” wrote one commenter.
Paris-based designer Jude McCasinag posted a photo of Turner Smith in the Town of X late at night, writing, “I found a Schiaparelli Haute Couture S/S 2024 motherboard dress at tonight’s bar.”
Social Media Snap showed off the back of the dress, decorated with CDs instead of a digital point-and-shoot camera, trailing cords and back pockets.
