Rachel Zegler is back on the circuit and appeared at the New York Magazine Culturati Cocktail Party in a sheer dress with a bold high slit from LaQuan Smith. The dress was not only completely see-through, but also had a daring slit and featured a one-shoulder design. Zegler’s year might not have been spectacular due to the box office failure of “Snow White,” but her recent red carpet appearance definitely was.
Rachel Zegler’s high slit LaQuan Smith dress couldn’t be more sheer
This year, New York Magazine published a list named the “Culturati 50” spotlighting 50 “culture makers” — people across film, TV, literature, music, theater, and other creative fields — who have left an indelible mark on culture. Rachel Zegler also made the list and attended the party celebrating this year’s “culture makers” on December 4. She showed up at the event in a deep plum LaQuan Smith dress from the Fall 2025 collection.
The one-shoulder piece was made from sheer, lightweight chiffon that draped fluidly across Zegler’s frame. It had a high slit, and its asymmetrical neckline wrapped around her neck like a soft halter. She completed the outfit with pointed-toe plum-hued Jimmy Choo Afia Mesh pumps featuring delicate ankle ties and carried a Jimmy Choo Bon Bon Winter Bloom satin bag with a metal bracelet.
The “West Side Story” star wore Mini Crescendo Pave earrings and Allora earrings, both from Kaktim. She styled her hair in a soft, centre-parted updo with loose strands framing her face. Meanwhile, her makeup stayed soft and minimal, featuring a muted rose–nude lip and a gentle flush of rosy blush on her cheeks.
Earlier this month, Zegler appeared on the cover of New York Magazine’s “Culturati 50” December 2025 issue. She wore a white button-down shirt and black quilted shorts for the cover photos. In the pictures, she posed in a theatrical dressing room lit with round vanity bulbs. Other stars included in the “Culturati 50” list are Owen Cooper, Adam Scott, Penn Badgley, and Sadie Sink, among others.
