FKA Twigs turned heads with her avant-garde fashion choices at “The Crow” premiere in New York City, showcasing her fearless and inventive approach to red carpet dressing. The singer and actress embraced an all-black ensemble that highlighted both her edgy sense of style and her unique interpretation of high fashion.

The focal point of her outfit was a striking pair of black patent leather platform shoes. The towering platforms gave Twigs a height boost, effortlessly blending gothic elements with futuristic vibes. The exaggerated silhouette of the footwear not only elongated her frame but also added a bold, commanding presence to her overall look. These sky-high platforms complemented her sleek black satin gown, which skimmed her figure and added a touch of fluidity and elegance against the more structured shoes.

Twigs accentuated her look with a minimal yet effective selection of accessories. She wore a simple brown leather-like bangle on one wrist, while carrying a black leather clutch. The clutch featured unique detailing that allowed her fingers to be inserted into grooves, giving the appearance that she was clawing at the purse — a subtle nod to the edgy and haunting themes of “The Crow.” Her buzzcut was adorned with a unique accessory: a three-pronged claw-like headpiece with two prongs near her ears and a third that extended down toward her bleached eyebrows.

Twigs stars in “The Crow” alongside Bill Skarsgård, a reboot of the iconic gothic superhero film. The movie explores the tale of a man who is resurrected to avenge his and his fiancée’s murder, blending supernatural elements with dark, emotional storytelling — much like Twigs’ daring style on the red carpet.
