Shailene Woodley just made a powerful fashion statement in a sheer shirt and skirt from Elie Saab at the Red Sea International Film Festival closing ceremony in Saudi Arabia. The “Fault In Our Stars” actress delivered elegance with an unexpected twist, presenting two contrasting looks, though it was her first ensemble that truly set the tone for the night.
Shailene Woodley takes on Red Sea Film Festival in sheer Elie Saab shirt and skirt
Shailene Woodley stepped onto the red carpet in an ethereal creation from Elie Saab’s Spring 2026 collection. She wore a sheer brown-and-white polka dot chiffon blouse, delicately transparent, paired with a sunshine-yellow silk chiffon skirt featuring a daring high slit.
The look was light, romantic, and fluid, moving effortlessly with her every step. True to Elie Saab’s signature aesthetic, the ensemble balanced softness and sophistication, offering a cinematic, almost dreamlike presence.
However, fashion followers quickly noticed something unusual. Only two usable red carpet photos surfaced, one captured from the side and another from the back. There was no full-length front-facing shot even at the time of writing, adding a layer of intrigue to what was already a striking couture moment.
Later in the evening, Woodley surprised attendees by switching looks entirely once inside the venue. She changed into a black fringed coat dress from Mugler’s Spring 2026 collection. The ensemble that leaned into sharp tailoring and sculptural power. Interestingly, this was not a debut moment. The actress had worn the same Mugler piece just a day earlier for a portrait session.
While both looks showcased her versatility, it was the sheer, romantic Elie Saab fit that remained the standout. While the all-sheer look was eye-catching to begin with, the color contrast between the shirt and skirt further elevated the ensemble.
