On Thursday, August 20, 2026, the world premiere of Ridley Scott's new post-apocalyptic film "The Dog Stars" took place in London. The lead roles were played by Margaret Qualley, Jacob Elordi, and Josh Brolin. It was at this event that Qualley became the first major star to publicly wear the extravagant "naked" sandals by Chanel, which instantly went viral on social media. Full details of the look and the context of the show are in the material by [WAVE / RBC-Ukraine](https://wave.rbc.ua/ukr/style/margaret-kvolli-odyagla-ekstravagantni-goli-1787302798.html). ### Viral Look: Almost Barefoot on the Red Carpet The actress's look for the premiere immediately attracted the attention of photographers and fashion publications. Qualley chose a light black dress with fringe, and on her feet — barefoot sandals from the Chanel Cruise collection: the foot was completely open, with only the heel covered, complemented by black pedicure. The star left her hair loose, almost without styling, and the makeup stayed in a weightless "natural" palette. In combination, the look looked deliberately careless and "unruly," which contrasted with the glamour of a typical red carpet and emphasized the theme of survival inherent in the film itself. ### Where did the "naked" Chanel shoes come from? The shoe model itself appeared at the Cruise 2027 collection show in Biarritz, where the creative director of the fashion house Matthieu Blazy presented the idea of "no shoes at all." Models walked the runway with only the heel covered: the "sandals" were attached to the ankle with thin laces, and the sole remained completely open. After the show, the model instantly went viral, and social media users joked that "such sandals should cost half the price." The premiere of "The Dog Stars" became the first notable red carpet where a star of this magnitude wore this pair in real life. ### Premiere Context: Ridley Scott's Post-Apocalypse The film is based on the novel of the same name by Peter Heller and tells about people who survived in a post-apocalyptic world after a virus destroyed most of humanity, and now they are facing roaming marauders. The main character is the pilot Hig, who survived the virus but lost his wife; this role is played by Jacob Elordi. Qualley's choice of a "naked," almost vulnerable look at the premiere is read as a visual reference to the atmosphere of vulnerability and survival in which the film's characters live. ### Release and Audience Reaction The worldwide release of "The Dog Stars" starts on August 28, 2026. By the time of the premiere, the film has already generated high interest in both the cast (Qualley, Elordi, Brolin) and Ridley Scott's visual solutions. It is worth noting separately that personal news about the actress is also being discussed in the public sphere — in particular, reports of her divorce after three years of marriage — however, this information is not related to the theme of the premiere and is not verified in this material. ### Conclusion Margaret Qualley's appearance in "naked" Chanel sandals turned into a separate fashion story around the premiere: the rare combination of viral shoes, a deliberately "unruly" look, and the post-apocalyptic plot of the film made her appearance one of the most discussed moments of the London show. Until the start of the release on August 28, 2026, interest in the film and its stars will likely only grow. ## 🔍 Fact-Check Verification - [Margaret Qualley wore extravagant "naked" sandals by Chanel for the film premiere](https://wave.rbc.ua/ukr/style/margaret-kvolli-odyagla-ekstravagantni-goli-1787302798.html) - Подтверждает дату премьеры (20.08.2026, Лондон), каст (Кволли, Элорди, Бролин), описание образа и происхождение обуви (круизная коллекция Chanel 2027, Биарриц, Матье Блази), дату проката 28.08.2026 и сюжет по роману Питера Хеллера. - ["The Substance" star Margaret Qualley is divorcing her husband after three years of marriage](https://lite.rbc.ua/ukr/lite/zirka-substantsiyi-margaret-kvolli-rozluchaetsya-1783581275.html) - Содержит сведения о личном статусе актрисы (развод), не относящиеся к теме премьеры; в статье упомянуто лишь как параллельный публичный сюжет и не верифицировано в рамках данного материала. ## ❓ FAQ ### Q: What shoes did Margaret Qualley wear to the premiere of "The Dog Stars"? **A:** She wore viral "naked" sandals from the Chanel Cruise collection: the foot is completely open, only the heel is covered, the model is attached to the ankle with thin laces. ### Q: When and where was the film premiere? **A:** The premiere took place on Thursday, August 20, 2026, in London.
