Sofia Carson embraced classic glamour in a Richard Quinn black and white gown for the red carpet premiere of her Netflix film “My Oxford Year” in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Carson’s dress was wholly evocative of style elements and trends reminiscent of the 1950s. The dress, from Richard Quinn’s spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, featured a strapless silhouette with a square neckline and two distinct hemlines.

The external layer of the gown featured a black satin material, which flowed to the floor. Beneath the black layer was a white midi dress with allover embroidered floral elements throughout. The dress featured a cinched waist for added silhouette definition. Carson also added a pair of black opera gloves to her look.

Carson’s hair was coiffed in a blunt bob with a side part. Several celebrities have adopted the bob hairstyle over the past few months, including Leslie Bibb, Halle Berry and Jenny Slate, among others. Her makeup included bold brows, lined eyes and a dark lip.

Carson’s “My Oxford Year” premiere dress made its debut as part of London Fashion Week in September 2024. As a designer, Quinn operates with a direct line to his clients, often curating special orders and bridal. The eponymous designer’s spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection was curated “with the most meaningful moments of our lives in mind,” per Miles Socha’s WWD review of the collection.

“The collection did not veer far from recent ones, riffing on familiar eveningwear archetypes — regal columns, debutante fit-and-flare ballgowns, fishtail numbers and minidresses — all frosted with dense floral embroideries, neat little satin bows and dramatic frills at the necks and wrist,” Socha wrote of the collection.

Elements of old Hollywood glamour made a comeback on the red carpet. More recently, Pamela Anderson channeled timeless elegance with her custom Rodarte gown for “The Naked Gun” premiere in London on Tuesday. In December 2024, WWD reported formalwear designers took inspiration from Old Hollywood for their respective pre-fall 2025 collections, including Markarian, Georgina Chapman and Lela Rose, among others.

“My Oxford Year” follows American Rhodes Scholar Anna, played by Carson, who falls for an ailing teach assistant, played by Corey Mylchreest, during her year at Oxford University. The film hits Netflix Aug. 1.
