Emma Raducanu instantly became a British icon after her US Open coup, so it only made sense that the 18-year-old would be in attendance at the No Time To Die premiere on 29 September. The tennis pro (and newly announced Tiffany & Co. ambassador) stepped onto the red carpet outside the Royal Albert Hall wearing an iridescent silver gown from Dior’s Resort 2022 collection to watch Daniel Craig make his final outing as James Bond.
So far Raducanu’s victory tour post Grand Slam has seen her pop up everywhere from the Met Gala to British Vogue’s London Fashion Week party with Tiffany & Co. And while Raducanu may be a growing influence in the fashion world, she frequently nods to her real job – that is, as one of the world’s most celebrated tennis players – through her sartorial choices. Case in point: the tennis-inspired skirt on the Erdem dress she wore to The Londoner in Leicester Square on 20 September.
Silver proved a theme of the evening, with Léa Seydoux wearing a custom Louis Vuitton gown embellished with sequins to watch her final turn as Madeleine Swann. Naomie Harris (aka Miss Moneypenny), on the other hand, turned to Michael Kors to produce her hand-beaded gown for the occasion, which “made her feel like a million dollars”. As for the Duchess of Cambridge? She raised the metallic stakes in a gold Jenny Packham gown.
