Demi Moore Looked Like a Literal Stained Glass Window in a Plunging Red Dress

If you're a Millennial, you probably have some fond, very specific memories of the Beauty and the Beast opening sequence. As the magical, twinkly theme plays, the tale of the Beast's transformation is told by a mysterious voiceover set to a series of beautiful images in a stained glass window. We discover that the Beast must fall in love before a magical rose loses its last petal.

Why this longwinded Disney tangent? Well, while attending the Los Angeles premiere of her new film The Substance, Demi Moore wore a deep red gown that can only be described as the sartorial version of the iconic stained glass rose from the animated film. The strapless, plunging Oscar de la Renta gown was covered in a sumptuous abstract mosaic of jewel toned red tiles and an array of delicate sequins. Moore accessorized with diamond bracelets, diamond drop earrings, and diamond rings, and wore her hair down in soft waves.

Moore has been committing to two distinct styles throughout her press tour for her latest film—glamorous red gowns, like this latex number she wore at TIFF, and menswear-inspired tailored looks, like this shirt and tie combo. Mercifully, neither style seems to be linked to any kind of overt "method dressing," though the glamorous gowns do both pay homage to one of the primary colors featured in the film—a deep, blood red.

The Substance is a gruesome body horror flick that confronts its audience with modern society's obsession with aging and beauty. Moore plays Elizabeth Sparkle, an older actress, who turns to a black market drug when she her career begins to fade away. The drug splits her DNA and creates a young, perfect version of herself named Sue (Qualley) who is able to relive Elizabeth's early successes in the industry.

As Moore recently told The Guardian, the film offers a brutalized exploration of how society values (or fails to value) women based on their appearances. For Moore, who struggled with an eating disorder earlier in her career, the film felt deeply personal. “What I did to myself,” she said of that time. “What I made it mean about me. Really looking at that violence, how violent we can be towards ourselves, how just brutal.” She added, “All of us, if we start to think our value is only with how we look then ultimately we’re going to be crushed.”
