Julia Louis-Dreyfus steals spotlight at 'Thunderbolts' premiere

Julia Louis-Dreyfus turns heads in daring gown at Marvel’s 'Thunderbolts' premiere, joined by Florence Pugh and Stan.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus made a bold fashion statement at the Thunderbolts premiere in Los Angeles, dazzling fans and media with a daring black gown that brought Old Hollywood glamour to the Marvel red carpet.

The 64-year-old actress reprises her role as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, a mysterious figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), in the upcoming anti-hero ensemble film.

Her plunging V-neck dress, silver trim, and thigh-high slit stole the spotlight, while diamond-crusted hoop earrings and a voluminous side-parted bob added to the drama. Fans flooded social media with reactions, calling her look "iconic," "timeless," and "sponge worthy"—a nod to her Seinfeld days.

Joining her was Florence Pugh, who stunned in a mint green ruffled chiffon gown while returning as Yelena Belova. Styled by Rebecca Corbin-Murray, Pugh’s ethereal look and sculpted makeup elevated the event’s fashion game.

Sebastian Stan also turned heads, but for a different reason. The actor, known as Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier, shocked fans with a freshly shaved head for his role in the upcoming film Fjord.

Louis-Dreyfus teased her enigmatic character during a London press stop, saying, “I play sort of an enigma and it works.”

Thunderbolts hits theaters on May 2, 2025, and promises a different kind of Marvel film—one focused on misfit characters navigating identity and purpose rather than traditional heroism.
