At the 2026 Variety Power of Young Hollywood, Kiernan Shipka channelled pure goth vibes in a plunging Roberto Cavalli micro minidress that dipped low at the front.

Kiernan Shipka’s plunging Roberto Cavalli micro minidress is lingerie-coded for Variety Power of Young Hollywood
For her appearance at the Variety Power of Young Hollywood, Kiernan Shipka opted for Look 15 from Roberto Cavalli’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection. The piece had a gothic, boudoir-inspired silhouette with subtle volume. The black lingerie-coded micro minidress had ultra-thin spaghetti straps and a deep V-neckline adorned with delicate, scalloped lace trim.
The structured bodice featured a tactile contrast, combining plush velvet paneling with eyelash lace inserts along the center plunge. Below the fitted empire waist, the garment fell into a layered, tiered skirt made of translucent silk chiffon and a scalloped lace hemline. Black sequin embroidery adorned the lower half of the asymmetrical skirt.
Further, Shipka paired the dress with semi-sheer black tights covered in a floral lace pattern that echoed her upper half. This created a seamless look while also maintaining the monochromatic palette. She completed her look with black pointed-toe pumps, continuing the color scheme. The heels elongated her frame.
The “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” actress wore her long auburn-tinted brunette hair in a middle part with undone waves. Meanwhile, her makeup featured a deep berry lip, black eyeliner, rosy cheeks, and defined eyebrows. She opted to keep her jewelry minimal with a few rings, allowing her romantic outfit to take center stage.
Variety’s official Instagram page shared the clip of a wholesome moment between Tyriq Withers and Shipka. The duo posed together on the red carpet and even hugged. The “Reminders of Him” actor wore a slate grey double-breasted suit with a subtle sheen, featuring an oversized blazer and matching trousers.
