Schafer’s brown and black corset dress featured a sculptural neckline and structured leather bodice. An oversized chocolate brown coat framed the short dress, which she wore with textured black tights, pointed heels and sparkly earrings.

Just Jared identified Schafer’s outfit as Prada and Yeoh’s as LaQuan Smith. Yeoh’s textured brown jacket had pronounced shoulders and a high neckline, while dark flared jeans stretched over her shoes. She carried a black clutch.

Deadline’s photographs also captured creator and showrunner Silka Luisa and actors Matthew Needham, Dimitri Abold and Lewis Gribben. The ensemble gathered for a group portrait alongside producers and studio executives.

Makeup artist Sandy Ganzer told Vogue that she wanted to adapt Pris’s eye makeup for the red carpet. Hannah played the character in Ridley Scott’s 1982 film, wearing a streak of dark shadow across her face.

Ganzer used shades of metallic bronze and smoky taupe from Natasha Denona’s Glam palette, spreading the color across Schafer’s nose and toward her temples. She sharpened the top edges while leaving the bottom edges diffuse.

Hairstylist Rena Calhoun kept her hair down. Loose strands spilled out of Schafer’s bun, echoing the rough texture associated with Pris.

Michelle Yeoh helped Schafer learn action work

The actresses previously appeared together during summer promotion for the series, joining Luisa for an interview at Variety Studio at San Diego Comic-Con in July. This conversation introduced their partnership months before the Los Angeles premiere.

Speaking to ELLE in October, Schafer described Yeoh as a motherly figure who helped her adjust to action work. She performed many of her own stunts, although falling safely required practice.

After seeing Schafer get injured, Yeoh showed him how to distribute his weight when landing. Schafer said she liked to focus on movement during action scenes.
