It's Settled: Camila Mendes Thinks *This* Is Her Best Red Carpet Look of All Time
Since her breakout role in Riverdale in 2017, Who What Wear cover star Camila Mendes has attended scores of red carpet events, including the Met Gala, Comic-Con, Venice Film Festival, and an array of movie premieres and award shows. That's a lot of hours squished into high heels and fancy gowns.
When asked about her favorite red carpet look she's ever worn, she was surprisingly quick to flip through her mental rolodex: "The Tamara Ralph gown I wore at Vanity Fair," Mendes told Who What Wear, referring to the 2024 edition of the magazine's annual Oscars after-party. "It was this sculptural gold bra and this beautiful black velvet skirt. I really think that was a strong look. I was at the jeweler for hours putting on the metal bra. They would make a little note, and go and weld it and bring it back, and I'd try it on again. I was there for hours the night before this Vanity Fair Oscars party. We got it perfect, and it fit me like a glove. It was awesome." Scroll down to revisit the look in question and watch our full interview with Mendes on YouTube.
