One can think of <strong>Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong> for <em><strong>Mario Bros<\/strong><\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numero.com\/en\/cinema\/jenna-ortega-scream-6-mercredi-netflix-biographie-you-serie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Jenna Ortega<\/strong><\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.numero.com\/en\/serie\/christina-ricci-addams-family-wednesday-tim-burton-netflix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>Wednesday<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, and <strong>Lily James<\/strong> for <em><strong>Pam and Tommy<\/strong><\/em><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And for good reason. Beyond its obvious promotional aspect, this practice is above all seen as a new means of expression for movie stars, thanks to its fashion and creative approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even better, <strong>method dressing<\/strong> encourages fan service \u2014 a marketing technique that consists in satisfying the fans\u2019 expectations. But also Easter eggs, these more or less subtle clues that communities love to decipher on social media. For instance<strong>, Taylor Swift<\/strong>\u2019s fans engage in intensive analysis every time the singer releases a new song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a386fa5528da&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a386fa5528da\" class=\"wp-block-image size-large wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/numero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/1rachel-zegler-hunter-schafer-hunger-games-best-looks-GettyImages-1765540501-682x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29510\"\/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rachel Zegler wearing Alexander McQueen and Hunter Schaffer wearing Schiaparelli for the Berlin premiere of<em> Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes <\/em>in 2023. \u00a9 Tristar Media\/WireImage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The treasure hunt was observed in November 2023, during the promotion of the film <em>The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds &amp; Snakes<\/em>.

Meanwhile, the jewellery worn by <strong>Scarlett Johansson<\/strong> and <strong>Brie Larson<\/strong> on the red carpet hinted at the ending of <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2024, <strong>Anya Taylor-Joy<\/strong> offered us a memorable fashion and cinema moment. The actress announced her presence in <em>Dune: Part Two <\/em>at the film\u2019s premiere in London. Dressed in a gorgeous, virginal white Dior gown, inspired by <strong>Marc Bohan<\/strong>\u2019s archive design from the 1960s, she revealed part of her role in the battle staged in the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interviewed by British <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.co.uk\/article\/zendaya-law-roach-interview-dune-red-carpet-vintage-fashion?redirectURL=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.vogue.co.uk%2Farticle%2Fzendaya-law-roach-interview-dune-red-carpet-vintage-fashion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em><strong>Vogue<\/strong><\/em><\/a> during the promotion of <em>Dune: Part Two<\/em>,<strong> Law Roach<\/strong> confirmed the use of <strong>method dressing<\/strong> in his collaboration with <strong>Zendaya<\/strong>. \u201c<em>We adopted method dressing.
