Freya Allan’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes Premiere Look Is Sheer Perfection

General

Sometimes,
at
the
very
last
minute,
a
look
finds
its
way
to
you
that
is
so
well-suited
for
the
occasion
it’s
like
kismet.
You
know
instantly
that
it’s

the
one.
That’s
what
happened
to
Freya
Allan
for
the
Los
Angeles
premiere
of

Kingdom
of
the
Planet
of
the
Apes.
The
pressure
was
on
to
make
a
statement
for
the
red
carpet
event—it
was
a
big
moment
for
the
film—and
after
an
endless
search
for
the
perfect
dress,
a
gorgeous
sheer
number
in
a
bronze
tone
showed
up
that
was
almost
too
good
to
be
true.

“I’m
wearing
YSL,
which
is
the
dream,”
Allan
tells
us
from
her
hotel
room
earlier
that
day.
Having
just
finished
a
full
day
of
press
for
the
sci-fi
adventure
blockbuster,
in
which
she
stars
opposite
Owen
Teague,
she
was
feeling
a
bit
zonked
and
a
little
nervous,
which
is
to
be
expected
before
any
big
red
carpet.
Mostly,
she
was
excited
to
get
into
her
look
for
the
evening. “It
just
so
happened
that
I
put
it
on,
and
when
I
put
my
arms
out,
it
looked
like
an
eagle,”
she
says
of
the
spring/summer
2024
look. “In
the
film,
one
of
the
central
parts
is
eagles,
and
I
had
always
wanted
there
to
be
a
nod
to
the
movie
in
some
way.
That
was
the
only
gown
we
tried
on
from
YSL,
and
when
I
put
it
on,
I
was
like, ‘Wait,
guys,
it’s
like
I’m
an
eagle!'”

Allan
has
been
eager
to
work
with
the
Parisian
fashion
house
for
some
time,
as
she
feels
the
brand
aesthetic
aligns
well
with
her
personal
tastes.
When
we
ask
about
her
style
icons,
she
replies, “The
reference
that
always
comes
up
is
Kate
Moss.
I
love ’90s
fashion.
…
I
feel
there
was
a
simplicity
to
it.”
The
actor,
who
broke
out
in
Netflix’s

Witcher
series,
gravitates
toward
pieces
that
have
a
cool,
timeless,
and
lived-in
feel. “There’s
something
about
YSL
that
feels
sexy,
but
it’s
not
overtly
so,”
Allan
says.
Subtly
sexy
is
Allan’s
sweet
spot.

film’s

premiere

With
her
ideal
dress
sorted,
we’re
keen
to
know
what
Allan
and
her
beauty
team—hairstylist
Bobby
Eliot
and
makeup
artist
Kate
Synnott—have
planned
for
glam.
She
tells
us
she
and
her
stylist
Aimée
Croysdil
agreed
that
a
pulled-back
hair
look
would
be
best
since
the
top
of
the
dress
is
quite
busy. “I’m
going
to
be
having
a
low
bun
and
have
some
bits
falling
out,
but
not
perfectly,”
she
tells
us,
adding
that
she
usually
likes
her
hair
to
have
that “ironically
perfect,
imperfect
look.”

With
makeup,
she
leaned
into
the
vibes
of
the
dress,
using
bronzy
tones
throughout
in
a
way
that
would
make
her
blue
eyes
really
pop
like
an
eagle.

We
ask
Allan
to
metaphorically
take
us
inside
her
getting-ready
suite.
What
are
the
vibes?
She
tells
us “Chocolate”
by
The
1975
or
her
latest
obsession, “Dollar”
by
Electric
Guest,
will
most
likely
be
playing.
Her
playlist
spans
an
array
of
musical
styles
and
artists,
but
she
tends
to
get
hooked
on
songs
and
will
play
them
over
and
over. “There
are
some
I’ve
listened
to
about
1000
times
in
the
last
month,”
she
laughs.
Her
mother,
father,
and
younger
brother
are
in
town
for
the
big
event,
so
she’s
hoping
to
have
a
drink
with
them
in
the
room
before
heading
to
the
premiere.

It’s
almost
time
for
Allan
to
start
hair
and
makeup,
but
before
we
hop
off
the
phone,
we
have
to
ask
about

Kingdom
of
the
Planet
of
the
Apes.
It’s
the
reason
for
the
night’s
fashion
festivities,
after
all.
Allan
tells
us
she
fell
in
love
with
the
story
and
character
pretty
early
on
in
the
audition
process,
but
it
was
her
chemistry
read
with
Teague
over
Zoom
that
really
sealed
the
deal
for
her. “We
kind
of
locked
in
on
each
other,
and
we
both
say
that
we
forgot
there
was
even
a
screen
between
us,”
she
says. “[Director]
Wes
[Ball]
gave
such
insightful
thoughts.
It
was
that
moment
where
I
was
like, ‘Okay,
I
really
want
it.
I’ve
got
an
eye
into
who
would
be
my
teammates
in
this,
and
they
are
both
amazing
and
intelligent.'”
