At the world premiere of her film ‘Another Simple Favor’ at SXSW, Anna Kendrick dazzled in a houndstooth corset and metallic trousers, showcasing the latest trends in celebrity fashion.
At the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, Anna Kendrick showcased a striking fashion statement during the world premiere of her new film, “Another Simple Favor,” on March 7, 2025. The event was part of the annual South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Festival, which draws a diverse audience and celebrates film, music, and interactive media.
Kendrick’s ensemble stood out as she donned a plunging houndstooth corset paired with metallic pinstriped trousers from LaQuan Smith’s Fall 2025 collection. Smith, known for his emphasis on opulence and power dressing reminiscent of the late 1970s and 1980s, described the collection as “all about sharp tailoring and really rich textures and just a sense of rebellion and glamour,” according to an interview with Women’s Wear Daily. The sleek sheen of her outfit reflected current trends that have gained popularity on red carpets, particularly the resurgence of corsetry.
To enhance her look, Kendrick accessorized with layered gold and diamond serpent lariat necklaces and matching bracelets from Bulgari, along with diamond-encrusted hoop earrings. Her beauty choices included a metallic-inspired shimmering silver smokey eye, complementing the metallic accents in her trousers.
Kendrick was joined at the premiere by her co-star Blake Lively, who also made a bold fashion statement. Lively wore two striking latex attire pieces by Reneé Masoomian. She arrived in a blush sheer coat dress, which she later removed to reveal an eye-catching corset paired with a maxi skirt featuring lace trim at the hem.
“Another Simple Favor” serves as a sequel to the pair’s initial collaboration in the 2018 thriller “A Simple Favor.” The film follows the characters Stephanie Smothers, played by Kendrick, and Emily Nelson, portrayed by Lively, as they reunite in Capri for Emily’s wedding. The anticipated sequel is set to be available for streaming on Prime Video starting May 1, 2025.
