At the London premiere of Alejandro González Iñárritu’s film “Digger,” Emma D’Arcy wore a floor-length, pearlescent Valentino duster coat over a red blouse, with a Tiffany & Co. brooch. D’Arcy told Vogue the look was “quite ’90s Hugh Grant.”
Duster coats began as hard-wearing 19th-century travel jackets, often made from linen or canvas and worn to shield finer clothes from mud, rain and dust. The article describes D’Arcy’s glamorous version as closer in spirit to an opera coat, a style of 1900s outerwear often made of brocade silk and trimmed with fur.
The brooch was designed by 20th-century jewelry artist Jean Schlumberger. The article says D’Arcy’s red-carpet style mainly features luxurious suits and that the actor is not interested in wearing dresses.
