When Demi Moore arrived in New York City to promote her latest acting project last week, the sartorial stakes were high.
The actress was there for a series of premieres and interviews to launch her new TV show Feud: Capote vs The Swans, and, together with her co-stars, she channelled Old Hollywood glamour.
All eyes were on the star as she stepped on to the black carpet for a gala screening at the Museum of Modern Art, wearing a custom monochrome Balmain gown with a swan-shaped bodice. She accessorised with platform heels and jewellery from Cartier.
“It was only fitting I wore this stunning @balmain dress,” she wrote on social media.
Displaying his handiwork on Instagram, Demi’s stylist Brad Goreski also posted an image of her scene-stealing look and wrote: “When the swan goes to the Black and White Ball... @demimoore stuns in a @balmain gown and @cartier jewels to the premiere of @feudfx styled by me!”
Demi, 61, plays socialite Ann “Bang-Bang” Woodward in the eagerly awaited series, which stars British actor Tom Hollander as US author Truman Capote. The show tells the story of the real-life events surrounding his 1975 magazine short story La Côte Basque, which dished the dirt on his many female friends in New York high society – the so-called Swans – and resulted in his immediate exile from that world.
Speaking about the storyline, Demi said: “I had a general awareness of Truman betraying close friends who were his entrée into this world that he so desperately wanted, but I was more intrigued by the idea that he was the inspiration for Dill in To Kill a Mockingbird.
“I have a daughter named Scout [one of the characters in Harper Lee’s book], so obviously that book has real importance to me.”
She added: “I appreciate that it’s a period piece set
