Jessie Buckley epitomized gothic chic in a Maison Margiela gown at the London premiere of her latest film, The Bride!, in which she stars alongside Christian Bale, Annette Bening and Penelope Cruz.

The 36-year-old looked incredible in the floor-length sheer black dress, which was crafted from a delicate chiffon that draped around her hips and waist. The gown featured a rounded neckline and a transparent bodice, showcasing a structured corset layer underneath.

She kept her accessories minimal, only adding dangling diamond earrings to complete the look. Jessie wore her short blonde bob styled back behind her ears, and opted for natural glam makeup with a dark pink lip.
