Angela Bassett embraced dark glamour at the "American Horror Story: 13" event, held at New York City's Hotel Chelsea. She showcased a contemporary take on the trend with a Falguni Shane Peacock creation. The striking gown featured a bodice with defined cups and dramatic, gravity-defying structural elements.
Complementing the monochrome look, the skirt offered a slim silhouette with a layered midi hemline adorned with black feathers. Bassett's accessories included hoop earrings, a statement necklace echoing the dress's design, and a notable crystal skull clutch.
This Judith Leiber "Bela Lugosi Crystal Skull Bag" appears to be a direct nod to the "American Horror Story" anthology series. The 13th installment, which unites characters from past seasons, is set to premiere on Thursday.
Dark glamour, with its roots in Gothic and Victorian aesthetics, has been a notable red carpet choice since its resurgence in 2024, especially for horror-themed events. The style has evolved, incorporating modern interpretations while retaining its structured and often dramatic flair.
