What would you wear to a film premiere?

[Handbag55]

It's not a big Hollywood blockbuster. More an independant film. Premiere will in Central London in a few weeks.

When I was I Westfield once, the people going were dressed as you would go to a Wedding evening only reception.

Oh crap!!!

I'll have nothing to wear in that case. I'm more a jeans and top person.

I went to a big premiere once in Leicester Square, I wore a long evening dress.

This is an independent film with probably a few british stars. I've also been invited to the after party. I'm panicking now!

Think you need a nice dress...

independent.

I went to one once, and the after party. I wore a long skirt and silk top.

Would probably go for a cocktail-esque dress if it's day time.

If you re more of a jean and top person then maybe a silk shirt/ top and dark jeans or silky tuxedo type trousers with a blazer might be nicer and feel more natural than a dress

I go to premieres often via work, not the big blockbuster ones but more independent like the one you are going to. For the last one, I wore silk trousers and a black sleeveless top, with heels. And some jewellery

I assume you know someone who is involved in making the film. What will they wear?

I go to film premieres fairly often and mostly go straight from work in a smartish day to evening dress. If you have a post screening party dial this up a notch. Cast and celebrities will really go to town and plenty of others will be film journos and back room staff in what they've worn all day. Especially if it's an indie movie. By which I mean try not to be too gutted if loads of people are there in jeans and t shirt.

Ah I've just re-read your post. You will be fine in jeans.

There should be a dress code on the ticket by the way - it's rarely enforced unless a royal premiere.
