While her The Summer I Turned Pretty character Belly may be all about casual summer looks like sundresses, lightweight sweaters and shorts, actor Lola Tung gets to dress up much more often than her onscreen counterpart. For a recent appearance in New York City, Tung completely ditched Belly's Cousins Beach casuals in favor of a glamorous, goth-inspired black lace gown.
Tung was in attendance for the Saks Fifth Avenue holiday window reveal and opted for a daring black dress instead of a classic holiday red or metallic shade. The dress in question was made of sheer black lace with a high neck, long sleeves and a floor-length hem, under which she wore a bralette and black mini shorts. Given the dress was so intricate, Tung styled it minimally with a pair of black pumps and a black quilted Lady Dior bag.
The actor kept her makeup and hair simple too, ensuring all focus was on the dress. She wore her dark hair parted in the center and pulled back into a sleek pony, and chose a deep mulberry red shade for both her lips and nails — a color that feels both holiday party-ready and a little goth too.
The head-to-toe black lace is the perfect way to incorporate a touch of dark romance to any holiday look, and though we probably won't be seeing Belly in a similar dress in TSITP season three (yes, it's happening!), it's fun to see Lola Tung experimenting with her own style both on the red carpet and off.
