Lucy Liu is proving she can still own the spotlight, but her latest red carpet look has the internet divided. The “Charlie’s Angels” star stepped out at “The Devil Wears Prada 2” premiere in a daring sheer ensemble that many fans quickly dubbed a “lingerie” or “boudoir-inspired look.” While Liu looked confident and radiant on the carpet, the bold fashion choice sparked a wave of mixed reactions online, with some praising her fearless style and others not holding back their criticism.
Lucy Liu Stuns In Sheer ‘Boudoir-Inspired’ Look
Liu turned heads the moment she arrived, rocking a black sheer gown layered over what appeared to be lingerie-style detailing underneath. The intricate dress featured delicate lace embroidery, a semi-transparent bodice, and textured embellishments that gave the illusion of a robe layered over intimate pieces, a look that instantly had fans comparing it to high-fashion bedroom wear. She paired the outfit with classic black heels, a sleek clutch, and minimal jewelry, letting the sheer dress do all the talking.
Fans Call The Look ‘Lingerie,’ And Not Everyone Loved It
As photos from the event made their rounds online, social media users were quick to weigh in, and opinions were all over the place. “She’s styled in lingerie paired with a sheer robe, giving a boudoir-inspired look,” one user wrote, summing up the overall perspective. But others were far less impressed. “Another dress that should be binned. Why do actresses have to wear such cheap-looking see-through sh-t?” one critic commented.
“This is painful to watch. Grasping at fleeing attention. She’s past her prime,” another harsh post read. Still, not all the feedback was negative, with some fans coming to Liu’s defense and praising her confidence and beauty. “She’s so pretty. She doesn’t need to flash her body to get attention,” one person wrote, while another added, “She is STILL that girl omg.”
Liu’s headline-making look comes as excitement builds around “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” the long-awaited sequel to the iconic fashion film.
Lucy Liu Teases ‘Mystery Role’ In ‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’
Just weeks before turning heads on the red carpet, Lucy Liu was already building buzz around “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” and keeping fans guessing. In an interview with PEOPLE, the actress revealed that her role in the highly anticipated sequel is still under wraps, describing it as a “mystery role.”
“I think that’s what’s special about it,” Liu said. “I think everyone’s looking forward to it.”
‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ Won’t Just Rely On Nostalgia
Starring alongside returning icons Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, and Emily Blunt, Liu hinted that the film won’t just rely on nostalgia, but it’s bringing something fresh to the table.
“It’s going to be highly entertaining,” she shared. “It’s going to give you all the things, all the eye candy, and it’s going to show that these characters have grown and changed. I think that’s what people want to see. They want to know 20 years later what’s different, because you don’t want to get served the same thing.”
How The Sequel Raises The Stakes
Based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel, “The Devil Wears Prada” centers on a recent college graduate, played by Anne Hathaway, who lands a coveted role as a junior assistant to the intimidating Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of the fictional fashion magazine Runway.
As she adjusts to the demanding job, she juggles the pressures of the high-fashion world with her personal life, including her relationship with her boyfriend and her evolving dynamics with co-workers Emily and Nigel.
But now in “The Devil Wears Prada 2,” Miranda is fighting to stay on top as the magazine world crumbles around her, and she’s not the one holding all the power anymore. Emily has climbed the ranks and is now a major player at a luxury fashion group.
