Rosamund Pike Has A Fresh Take On The Butter-Yellow Trend

“Elegance is a concept that is undervalued,” said Rosamund Pike in a 2022 Dior film. “I think it hasn’t been valued highly of late. Elegance is something that will be timeless. It endures because it has a quiet beauty to it.” Those words – both in meaning and via the brand paying her to say them – might explain the gown Pike wore to last night’s premiere of Now You See Me: Now You Don’t in New York.

Which was a long, pleated column dress in butter-yellow satin cooked up by Dior’s new creative director Jonathan Anderson. This silhouette – the sunray creases a riff on Dior’s 1949 Francis Poulenc dress, albeit with a drop waist and fluid cowl neckline – is fast becoming a signature, and therefore recognisable, silhouette since Anderson was inserted at the house back in April. Take, for example, the black iteration Monica Barbaro wore to this year’s Venice Film Festival, which served as a teaser of what the designer would go on to present at his womenswear debut during the spring/summer 2026 season.

It’s a good thing Pike has stuck around since Anderson took over from Maria Grazia Chiuri, who led the brand from 2016 and was recently announced at Fendi, and who was responsible for several of the actor’s red-carpet hits. Think: the tea-length couture dress she wore to the 2024 Golden Globes, complete with a lace Philip Treacy headpiece shaped into a sliced apple. With a taste for the less conventionally elegant, you could quite easily imagine Pike in any number of Anderson’s more experimental pieces. Someone please get her stylist to call in the flying back-peplum tuxedo pronto.

The opulence begins with the design itself, which is reusable and can be repurposed post-holidays for jewellery. It has been imagined by artist Pietro Ruffo to bring a festive spin to the facade of the flagship boutique in Paris’ 30 Avenue Montaigne, which is likewise decorated in suitably festive glory each year. The 2025 calendar combines make-up, skincare and fragrance, with the pièce de résistance being the Piste aux Étoiles candle.
