Vanessa Kirby took a stylish trip back into the modern archives for The Fantastic Four: First Steps trailer launch on Tuesday in Huntsville, Ala. The Oscar-nominated actress joined her co-stars Pedro Pascal, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn for the event, making a striking impression in a vintage Atelier Versace creation.
Kirby opted for a sculptural dress from Atelier Versace’s Spring 2016 couture collection, featuring a racer neckline and daring, skin-baring details. The design incorporated exposed boning on the bodice, lending an edgy yet elegant feel. The skirt showcased bold color-blocking in black and electric blue, adding a dynamic contrast to the structured silhouette.
Letting the dress take center stage, Kirby kept her accessories minimal, pairing the look with sleek pointed-toe heels. Her beauty choices echoed the outfit’s modern aesthetic—her signature silver-blond hair was styled in a middle-parted, soft wave, while her makeup featured bold brows, a subtle smoky eye, and a neutral lip for a polished finish.
The dress originally debuted during Paris Fashion Week in January 2016 as part of Versace’s athletic couture collection. As described by WWD’s Miles Socha, the collection was defined by racer necklines, neon flashes, mountain-climbing hardware, and intricate Swarovski crystal rope detailing designed to mimic sport laces. The runway pieces also embraced a body-hugging aesthetic, with dresses that fit as snugly as athletic leggings.
The Fantastic Four: First Steps follows the iconic superheroes as they face off against the cosmic threat of Galactus and his formidable ally, Silver Surfer. The highly anticipated film is set to hit theaters on July 25.
