Julia Garner Chooses Gucci for ‘Stephen Colbert’ Appearance

Julia Garner continued her Gucci style streak with a spin on the classic little black dress for her appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” on Monday in New York City.

The actress, currently promoting her forthcoming film “Weapons,” opted for a midi dress courtesy of the Italian luxury fashion house. The sleeveless dress featured a scoop neckline and an Empire waistline, with contrasting fabric elements between the bust and skirt of the frock.

While the bust featured a sleek material, the skirt of the dress was adorned with cascading, shimmering beadwork throughout, adding a refined quality to the dress. Garner coordinated the look with strappy sandal heels and accessorized with delicate pieces of jewelry, including a gold choker necklace.

Garner’s glam team, including makeup artist Misha Shahzada and hair stylist Bobby Eliot, curated a look with slight references to dark glamour. “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” actress’ makeup included smoky eyes and bold brows with a neutral lip. Her curly blond pixie cut included the controversial side part. Garner’s look was curated by stylist Elizabeth Saltzman, who also works with Elizabeth Debicki and Eiza González, among others.

Garner has a close relationship with Gucci as a longtime friend and star of the Italian luxury fashion house’s campaigns. In March, the Emmy Award-winning actress appeared in “Keep It Gucci: The Art of Silk” ad campaign, celebrating more than 100 years of Gucci’s silk craftsmanship. The campaign was lensed by Steven Meisel.

More recently, Garner styled pieces by Gucci for various film premieres and promotional events. For “The Fantastic Four: First Steps” premiere, Garner wore a strapless shimmering blue gown. At the “Weapons” premiere on July 31, the actress wore a polka dot Gucci dress from the house’s 2026 cruise collection.

“Weapons” follows a community in search of answers after children from the same class mysteriously go missing at the exact same time in one night. The film costars Josh Brolin. “Weapons” hits theaters Friday.
