Helen Mirren attended the London screening of “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” on March 7, in a dramatic pink cape.
In honor of the screening of her new movie, the veteran actress and Oscar winner wore a pink statement cape dress with a bow accent at the collar, a black catsuit and heeled black boots. She accessorized with sheer black gloves and a black satin clutch bag.
Mirren’s choice of bold pink is reflective of the Barbiecore trend that has been sweeping red carpets and the fashion industry as a whole. Barbie’s popularity and the penchant for pink coincide with the filming of a “Barbie” movie, starring Margot Robbie as Barbie, and Ryan Gosling as Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken, which will be released this summer.
