Yerin Ha stepped onto the red carpet at the BFI Southbank screening of Bridgerton season 4, part two on Feb. 24, 2026 in an eye-catching Louis Vuitton metallic mini that quickly dominated fashion coverage published Feb. 25. Red Carpet Fashion Awards pointed to the outfit’s unmistakable house signature, writing, "Did I even need to tell you this was Louis Vuitton? If the silver, short-sleeved, double-breasted mini dress didn’t make it obvious, the black Donna boots certainly did."

Descriptions of the dress varied across outlets. WWD framed the look as a ’60s Mod turn and described a sleeveless minidress with a column silhouette in metallic fabric, noting rounded buttons and seams around the neckline and down the front and observing it was "not dissimilar to a look from the label’s 2022 cruise collection." By contrast, Red Carpet Fashion Awards and other outlets described a silver, short-sleeved double-breasted mini while USA Today and Largsandmillportnews called it a shiny gold double-breasted dress; those color and sleeve discrepancies were reflected in the day’s photo captions.

Jewelry anchored the look: Red Carpet Fashion Awards singled out the Louis Vuitton midnight pearl earrings as "a strong choice," and USA Today noted dangling gold-and-pearl earrings as part of Ha’s accessorising. Stylist credit on the coverage went to Holly White, and the styling choices extended into beauty where Red Carpet Fashion Awards praised "that fuchsia lip" as adding "exactly the right pop of colour," while USA Today described Ha’s make-up as simple.

Footwear drew the fiercest commentary. Multiple outlets identified black Louis Vuitton Donna boots or knee-high black leather boots; Red Carpet Fashion Awards argued, "You already know I’m not the biggest fan of LV’s heavy boots, especially when paired with a dress this playful. The proportions feel off. The structure and shine of the dress call for something lighter. A sleek metallic sandal would have echoed the finish beautifully." The piece concluded bluntly, "It’s just the boots that stop this from fully landing for me."

On the carpet Ha posed alongside co-star Luke Thompson, who wore a duck-egg blue monochrome ensemble paired with black patent leather shoes, while photographers Lucy North/PA and Alan Chapman/Dave Benett/WireImage supplied agency images used in coverage. The appearance follows Ha’s Paris world premiere look in a custom icy-blue Prada gown and a Feb. 18 Madrid photo-call in a ruby-encrusted Dolce & Gabbana dress, signaling a clear shift in red-carpet identity.

Ha’s role as Sophie Baek - a maid who disguises herself to enter a masquerade and encounters Benedict Bridgerton, played by Luke Thompson - remains central to press interest in her wardrobe. Outlets variously described Ha as a 28-year-old Australian actress and, elsewhere, as 27; that discrepancy accompanied the broader conversation about her transition from earlier Cinderella-inspired looks to the sharper, Mod-inflected Louis Vuitton moment noted by WWD. Whether celebrated for the midnight pearls or debated for the Donna boots, the BFI appearance marks another stylistic chapter in Ha’s Bridgerton-era profile.
