Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s 2023 red carpet dress code consists of two things: crisp cream two-piece suits with a statement base layer peeking through, and fitted black floor-length gowns that ooze sultry sophistication.
Though we’ve loved everything on her recent style agenda (which juxtaposes her usual wardrobe that is as broad as her talent), her outfit to the Indiana Jones: The Dial Of Destiny premiere at Cannes Film Festival last night blew us away.

The Princess of Wales also approves of the evening gloves for 2023 that have been the chicest special occasion accessory since the 1940s.

But the pièce de resistance of her BAFTA-worthy ensemble was her black full-length gloves that exuded classic glamour.
Indiana Jones: The Dial Of Destiny may have received a five minute standing ovation, but Phoebe Waller Bridge’s outfit also deserved its own extended round of applause…
