Charli XCX is currently dominating the cultural conversation with her music and her fashion. As the creative force behind the “Wuthering Heights” soundtrack, she has fully embraced the film’s ‘moorcore’ aesthetic. For the London premiere, she traded her signature club-ready style for a look that feels both historic and haunting. This appearance marks a major shift into a high-fashion, gothic-bridal era, perfectly balancing her rebellious spirit with the tragic, romantic themes of the English moors.
Charli XCX channels gothic bride in custom tulle and lace skeletal gown look from Erdem
Charli XCX made a theatrical entrance at the London premiere of “Wuthering Heights” in a custom ensemble by Erdem from their Autumn/Winter 2026 collection. The gown is a masterclass in gothic romance, crafted from delicate pale pink floral lace and tulle. It features an elegant off-the-shoulder neckline and a voluminous, sweeping pleated skirt. While the color is soft and feminine, the details are intentionally dark.
However, the most striking element is the inky black crystal embroidery that traces the bustier and trails down the bodice. As it was, this skeletal motif creates a beautiful contrast, making the dress look both romantic and sinister. To heighten the drama, Charli wore a sheer, cathedral-length pink tulle veil. The veil was so long that it measured up to the floor-length silhouette of the dress, creating a ghostly, ethereal effect as she moved. The choice of a veil over a bombshell blowout added a layer of mystery, placing her slightly out of reach. It felt like an ode to a banshee or a Victorian bride lost in a storm.
The musician kept her accessories focused on high-end craftsmanship, wearing sapphire and diamond drop earrings by Barron London. Her signature beauty look remained intact, featuring glowing skin and dark, grungy eye makeup that popped against the strawberry milkshake pink of the gown. Without a necklace to distract from the neckline, the focus stayed entirely on the intricate skeletal embroidery. Suffice to say, this custom tulle lace gown look is a true fashion victory that proves Charli XCX is the current queen of gothic glamour.
