Wuthering Heights is about a tortured love affair in the world of 19th century English nobles, and Charli has updated her wardrobe to match. The singer, who provided original music for Emerald Fennell\u2019s new film adaptation, stepped out at the premiere last night that was less Brat, and more Bront\u00eb. <\/p>\n<p>Joining stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, Charli tried her hand at era-appropriate dressing in a Vivienne Westwood gown. Designed in a gauzy chiffon fabric, the piece boasted two bustles at the hips, details that almost resembled the pannier skirts worn by Victorian women in the 18th century\u2014albeit very dramatically. The dress\u2019s top half featured Westwood\u2019s signature corsetry while the skirt was just as voluminous at the hips. Charli finished her look with tousled black curls and antique diamonds from Darius.<\/p>\n<p>Unique Nicole\/FilmMagic\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Before the premiere, Charli joined Robbie and Elordi for a photo call at the historic Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. The singer paired a vintage John Galliano lace top from 2003 with an open-knit black skirt by Saint Laurent. The ensemble carried much of the same brooding romance of her premiere look, and had similarities to the wardrobe Robbie has been establishing, too. <\/p>\n<p>David Jon\/Getty Images Entertainment\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Although director Emerald Fennell approached Charli to create one song for Wuthering Heights, the pop star wound up creating an entire album. The album\u2019s two singles thus fur \u201cHouse\u201d and \u201cChains of Love\u201d are not only a sonic departure from Brat, but a visual ones, as well. Both of the song\u2019s visuals are dark, romantic, and a touch dreary\u2014a far cry from the club-ready aesthetics of her previous album.<\/p>\n<p>She knows how to dress for The Moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Brat was the soundtrack to late nights out and the anxious panics of the mornings after, and Charli&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258179,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[3623,11110,156,1438,2386,157,111,139,69],"class_list":{"0":"post-258178","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-celebrity","9":"tag-celebrity-style","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-fashion","12":"tag-homepage","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-new-zealand","15":"tag-newzealand","16":"tag-nz"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258178"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258178\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
