Serving Looks

In the first photo, Maddie posed on the red carpet with her back facing the camera. She looked over her shoulder and offered a fierce look. The next showed a full-length shot of the dancer in the same stance, and it displayed the entirety of the blue-and-white printed gown she wore to the event. A swipe to the right featured a closer look at the gorgeous back detail of her outfit. Then she posed with her cast members in the last picture.

Maddie's formal wear featured a high halter neck style. Its backless design dipped low -- just sitting above her pert backside -- exposing plenty of skin. The gown's hem created a short train that added a dramatic vibe to her look.

Maddie's brunette locks were parted in the center and styled in soft beach waves that fell on her back. She opted for a pair of dainty dangling earrings and rings as she rocked a full makeup look that enhanced her facial features.

About The Film

Maddie will play Velma in the upcoming musical alongside Rachel Zegler as Maria, Ansel Elgort as Tony, David Alvarez as Bernardo, Ariana DeBose as Anita, Paloma Garcia-Lee as Graziella, and Mike Faist as Riff. The film is an adaptation of the 1957 Broadway musical.

“It’s always nerve-wracking to do a remake of something, especially something so iconic, but [Spielberg] really stayed true to the 1960s, which is amazing,” Maddie told Variety in September. “We had all of our costumes handmade and the full undergarments and everything they wore in the ‘60s, which was awesome.”

"West Side Story" comes out in theaters tomorrow.
