Little Women—directed by one of Vogue’s January cover stars, Greta Gerwig—is one of the most anticipated films to close out 2019. The movie, an adaptation of the classic Louisa May Alcott novel, is due for nationwide release on December 25 and features a stellar cast that includes Meryl Streep, Saoirse Ronan, Timothée Chalamet, Emma Watson, and more. It also marks the major film debut of up-and-coming actor Hadley Robinson, who stars in the television series Utopia and Amy Poehler’s upcoming project, Moxie.
Last night, Robinson and her fellow cast members attended the Little Women world premiere in New York City—and the emerging star documented her getting-ready process for Vogue. The big day kicked off with a glam session, with Blake Erik on hair and Daniel Martin on makeup. While they got to work, Robinson reviewed her notes on how to successfully walk a carpet—after all, it was her very first time hitting one. (Her prompts included “smile,” ”hand on hip,” and “wide stance,” among others.)
The 25-year-old actor called upon the help of Louis Vuitton to nail down her premiere ensemble, which consisted of a sheer sequined turtleneck dress with a striped bra and skirt set underneath. “The Louis Vuitton look under the Louis Vuitton look is a look in and of itself,” Robinson said of the outfit. “Layers of looks.” Once ready, it was time to head over to the screening and snap some photos with the cast on the carpet. Afterward, Gerwig, who Robinson describes as a “goddess,” introduced the film and ushered in the rest of evening’s festivities—which included Champagne at the Plaza, of course.
Below, Robinson documents her getting-ready process for the big night.
