“It’s become sort of a thing for actresses to be like, ‘A red carpet? Pshaw, I’d rather be in sweats,’ but I love to be in a dress,” she tells Net-A-Porter. We can tell, too. Most recently, Thompson attended the MTV Movie and TV Awards wearing Rosie Assoulin, the Sorry to Bother You premiere in New York in Thom Browne (she also attended the Met Gala with the designer!), and the premiere for Fahrenheit 45 in a beautiful Christian Dior dress. When the fashion website asked Thompson about working with Rodarte on their fall 2018 lookbook in lieu of a runway show, she said she hopes to do more, partly because the actress recognises what it means when a Black woman gets that sort of opportunity.
