From full suits and ties to perfectly British tea dresses, The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood’s red carpet style is just as quirky as the character she plays in the hit HBO series. Which, if you’re familiar with Chelsea (Wood’s ditzy The White Lotus persona) and her off-kilter antics, is saying something.
Wood, who first came to prominence with projects like Living and Sex Education, marches to the beat of her own drum when it comes to red carpet dressing. The actor is never shy about embracing a bold color or tons of sequins, often achieved with the help of brands like Miu Miu, Valentino, and Burberry. Wood mainly prefers the classic tea-length dress on the step and repeat, but don’t be surprised to see her slip on some tailoring every now and then. The actor’s gap teeth, something she once called a “bit rebellious,” only up the charm factor. Here, look through Aimee Lou Wood’s best red carpet moments.
