Jessie Buckley Commands Attention in a Feathered Fantasy at ‘The Bride’ London Photocall
Jessie Buckley made a bold return to the red carpet this week at a London photocall for her new film, The Bride!.
The Irish actress arrived at the Corinthia Hotel in a look that was impossible to ignore, signaling a shift back to her more daring and artistic fashion choices. After spending months in more reserved outfits while promoting her award-winning drama Hamnet, this appearance felt like a homecoming for her eccentric style.
Buckley wore a striking piece from the Diotima Fall 2026 collection. The outfit featured thick bands at the top and a skirt with a surrealist, feather-like print that ended in a soft fishtail hem. The dress perfectly captured her unique energy, combining a moody, romantic feel with her natural flair for the unusual.

This year has already been huge for Buckley. She recently won the BAFTA for Best Leading Actress and a Golden Globe for her performance as Agnes Shakespeare in Hamnet. With the Oscars approaching, she is seen as one of the front-runners for Best Actress, cementing her place as one of the most talented performers of her generation.
The Bride! is another ambitious project for Buckley. She reunites with director Maggie Gyllenhaal after their work on The Lost Daughter. The film is a punk-rock take on the classic Bride of Frankenstein story, set in 1930s Chicago.
Buckley plays a young woman who is murdered and then revived to become a companion for a lonely Frankenstein’s monster, played by Christian Bale. Their story turns into a wild romance across the city. The cast also includes Annette Bening as a scientist, Peter Sarsgaard as a detective, and appearances by Jake Gyllenhaal and Penélope Cruz. The movie will be in theaters and IMAX on March 6.
Jessie Buckley’s latest look shows that she isn’t afraid to take risks and embrace her own style. Her feathered, surrealist gown was the perfect way to announce her return to bold red-carpet fashion.
