Tessa Thompson arrived on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of “Creed III” on Feb. 27, wearing a Champagne-inspired cocktail dress.
In honor of the premiere of her new film, the actress wore a Wiederhoeft dress titled “Ivy Stewart,” named after the model who wore the look on the runway for the show. The dress included a corseted golden bodice fully embroidered with glass-cut beads. Thompson accessorized the look with a ring, hoop earrings and a chain-link statement choker necklace, as well as simple black pointy-toe heels.
To create her look for the premiere, Thompson worked with the stylist duo of Wayman Deon and Micah McDonald, best known as Wayman and Micah. The pair also work with Danielle Deadwyler, Niecy Nash and Jodie Turner-Smith.
