Rina Sawayama Has Fully Embraced Movie Star Style

Singer Rina Sawayama is no stranger to flexing a statement outfit on stage. For live performances, the pop star has rocked everything from all-leather looks to rhinestone rodeo getups. This past month, however, Sawayama has been channeling a different fashion energy on the red carpet—that of a movie star. Sawayama’s first movie, John Wick: Chapter 4, is out March 27. She stars alongside Keanu Reeves, and she has been busy embarking on the film’s official press tour. In the process, Sawayama has brought her unique edge to each and every ensemble. 

It all started at the film’s London premiere earlier this month, when Sawayama showed up in a silver gown by Ashi Studio. With its high neckline and slightly puffed shoulders, the silhouette was modern, but still had the sparkle factor that’s fitting for a film premiere. For a screening in New York City last week, Sawayama switched things up in a plaid Thom Browne look that featured a cropped, sharp-shouldered jacket. Hardly your classic Old Hollywood gown!

At the L.A. premiere just last night, Sawayama embraced a more rock ‘n’ roll vibe. She slipped into Luis de Javier’s leather gown, covered in silver grommets and an asymmetrical fringed train. While the ensembles are wildly different in style and attitude, they’re united by a sense of risk-taking and experimentation. It’s a refreshing change from your standard ball gowns. That’s what movie premieres should really be all about—creating a fashion fantasy. One movie in, and Sawayama clearly understands this assignment.
