Actress Stuns in Avant-Garde Gown at WWD Honors

At the 2026 WWD Honors held on Tuesday at Cipriani South Street in New York, Michelle Monaghan made a striking fashion statement.

She arrived in a deconstructed black midi dress from Joseph Altuzarra's spring 2027 collection. The sleeveless garment showcased a deep V-neckline with sheer, nude-colored fabric adorned with delicate floral embellishments. Its design featured uneven, frayed edges along the opening and a visible strip of embroidered fabric through a front slit, presenting an intentionally unfinished aesthetic.

Monaghan complemented her bold attire with oversized floral earrings and a sleek, pulled-back bun, aiming to highlight the statement jewelry. Her makeup remained classic with a focus on maintaining naturally dark eyebrows, steering clear of the bleached brow trend. The "White Lotus" actress was also honored for her role in presenting the Beauty Company of the Year award at the ceremony.

The WWD Honors celebrated industry leaders, with LVMH's Bernard Arnault receiving the John B. Fairchild Honor. Recognitions also went to Haider Ackermann for womenswear, Michael Rider for menswear, Morris Goldfarb for Creative Leadership, and Henry Zankov as One to Watch. The event coincided with WWD's Apparel and Retail CEO Summit.
