On October 28, a special fan screening of the film "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" took place in London. Before meeting the audience, the actors showcased outfits that could easily appeal to the residents of the Capitol: featuring unusual silhouettes, voluminous flowers, and fantastical accessories. Wave RBC.UA analyzed the key star looks that demand a close-up inspection — from sculptural corsets to bird and butterfly applique details.
Couture with a Ballerina on a Hat and a Landscape Bodice
Elle Fanning, who played the young Effie Trinket, appeared in a soft pink Robert Wun dress from the Fall 2026 couture collection. The sculptural corset with wavy edges was paired with a voluminous tulle skirt, and the centerpiece was a tiny ballerina hat. Combined with pink Jimmy Choo shoes, the look turned into a musical-box fantasy — an eccentric accessory that resonates well with the character's penchant for extraordinary outfits. Mckenna Grace, who plays Maysilee Donner, chose an Almée Couture dress featuring embellishments reminiscent of the film's poster landscape: a blue and silver sky on the bodice, purple mountains, green meadows, and multicolored wildflowers below. Voluminous purple flowers cascade from the hips onto a sheer skirt, making the garment captivating from both afar and up close. The look was styled by Molly Dickson.
Pastel Chanel and Moss Green Simone Rocha
Whitney Peak stepped out in a Chanel dress from the Spring 2026 couture collection, combining pastel chiffon, delicate gathers, and black textured details on the bodice. The lightweight skirt and dark structured elements create a striking contrast, while a fishtail braid hairstyle leaves the shoulders and jewelry exposed; asymmetrical diamond earrings and a Chanel ring completed the ensemble. Glenn Close opted for a voluminous Simone Rocha dress from the Fall 2026 collection: rich moss-green taffeta holds its shape firmly, while the fabric is gathered into decorative bows at the waist. Long black leather gloves added a touch of drama, finished off with wave-styled blonde locks and green-accented earrings.
Men's Looks: Intentional Gucci Casualness and a Striped Suit
Joseph Zada, who portrays a young Haymitch Abernathy, appeared in Gucci from the Spring-Summer 2027 collection. The actor paired a gray textured double-breasted jacket with a light blue shirt, a black tie, and dark trousers; the shirt, partially untucked over the pants, and tousled curls added a relaxed vibe. A wide black belt with a prominent buckle and pointed-toe shoes completed the combination where strict tailoring meets deliberate nonchalance. Jesse Plemons paired a black pinstripe suit with a purple shirt — a concise yet expressive men's look against the backdrop of women's couture garments.
White "Wounded Bird" Ensemble and Sculptural Cherry
Tyriah's white outfit combined lace details, feathers, and a high headpiece. Voluminous decor on one shoulder transitioned into a long asymmetrical train, while a side slit revealed the leg. Red drop-shaped elements and decorative arrows added drama, collectively evoking the image of a wounded bird; pointed-toe slingback white shoes completed the appearance. Tasha Guri wore a sculptural dark-cherry dress merging a glossy reptile-skin texture, a corseted upper body, and red pleated inserts. The most striking detail was the voluminous skirt with curved elements resembling fantasy flower petals; red shoes and an updo finished the look.
Flamingos and Butterflies in a Joint Appearance
In a joint appearance, Millie Brady and Megan Hana McLaughlin combined two natural motifs — flamingos and butterflies. A pink corset with feathers and bird decor was paired with long black gloves and chunky platform shoes. Beside her stood a dress with a corset top and a sheer skirt covered in yellow, orange, and black-and-white butterflies: the appliques spilled onto the train, while several butterflies adorned the updo. Both outfits became among the most memorable highlights of the screening, intertwining natural themes with couture drama.
