Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine made its world premiere in New York City last night at the David H. Koch Theatre, and it seems the fashion got more attention than the film.

The star-studded cast wowed on the red carpet, including leads Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman, Emma Corrin, Leslie Uggams and Wunmi Mosaku.

Corrin, 28, arrived in a pant-less ensemble, turning heads with their high-cut, bedazzled black bodysuit and off-the-shoulder fur shawl. The look was completed with a pair of black patent leather pointed heels that included scallop details.

Guests including Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively and Avril Lavigne appeared to be following varying dress codes. Ryan Reynolds, 47, and Hugh Jackman, 55, wore simple black tuxedos while their guests wowed with thematic looks.

Actor Blake Lively, 36, paid homage to her husband’s iconic red suit with a Deadpool-inspired skin-tight action suit. The catsuit was by Atelier Versace: one of her most-worn labels on the red carpet. Fashioned from red-coated latex with an embroidered black bodice, the off-the-shoulder silhouette brought scandalous sex-appeal to the premiere.

In true BFF fashion, the actor matched with model Gigi Hadid, 29, who wore a monochromatic Miu Miu look in mustard yellow, evoking Hugh Jackman’s character Wolverine, and paired the look with chunky bangles and a purse adorned with Deadpool-inspired keychains and charms.

The blonde bombshell wore a strapless, bandana-inspired crop top with a pleated midi skirt to match. She added thick suede belt to her low-rise skirt. She styled the Noughties look with a Hollywood-inspired bob, evoking old-school glamour.

In stark contrast, other celebrities kept it low-key, such as singer Avril Lavigne, 39, who channelled her quintessential grungy look with a baggy grey T-shirt, black leather trousers and her iconic baby pink blonde curls.

Deadpool star, Brianna Hildebrand, 28, went more understated and donned the trend of the summer in the form of a strapless A-line gown. The polka-dotted dress – a print favoured by the Princess of Wales – was a timeless choice alongside the Marvel-inspired looks of the night.

Other guests such as TikTok prankster, Ross Smith and his grandmother, Pauline Kana, sported more playful looks. The pair wore retro comic book-inspired suits bringing a sense of childlike joy to an otherwise seriously fashionable red carpet.
