WEIRD IS WONDERFUL – JUST ASK MIA GOTH

Few people straddle the line between mainstream phenomenon and underground icon quite like Mia Goth. First famous for her scream-queen status, having starred in a flock of horror movies from Pearl to Infinity Pool, the actor has made a name for herself off-screen with edgy outfits and a soft-spoken lilt. This unapologetic approach to style has earned Mia a legion of loyal fans, and we’re among them. Ahead of her latest role in Frankenstein, we felt inspired to take a leaf out of her unconventional book and celebrate all things weird and wonderful in the wardrobe department.

From spooky, sultry looks to red-carpet head-turners, Miss Goth provides plenty worth sinking your teeth into. Keep scrolling for our favourite times Mia embodied her namesake (and aptly eschewed it).

She might be a horror girl, but you wouldn’t know it based on this purple look. Mia Goth thwarted all expectations when she stepped out at the Frankenstein premiere during the London Film Festival, opting for a delicate lavender dress with sheer details. Punctured by dark undergarments and a sweeping low back, this striking look left little to the imagination – but it certainly got our style inspo spinning. Leave it to Mia to go against the grain, and after a press tour filled with delectably dark ensembles, this feminine number was a welcome step-change.

Despite throwing caution to the wind, Mia’s style has long cemented her status as a goth by name and nature. This look was fresh from the much-anticipated Dior SS26 runway when the actress donned it on the carpet – and talk about a debut. This sultry lace mini dress has everything we love about Mia herself, blending feminine fabrics with complex layers and unexpected details. The result? An outfit that’s as spooky as it is seductive.

Whoever coined the phrase ‘business in the front, party in the back’ was obviously talking about this dress. We’ve tried our best, but we can’t fault it. Every detail is perfect, from the barely there spaghetti straps to the ruched taffeta skirt and, of course, the statement bow. Balancing an ostensibly simple silhouette with this ostentatious accent makes for an unforgettable red-carpet gown – and the low-cut back ensures Mia isn’t swamped in drapery. Finished with razor-sharp stilettos, this is an ode to the actor’s most celebrated characters: seemingly sweet, impossibly alluring, and as cut-throat as they come.

The red carpet isn’t the only place Mia’s been known to wow. The star’s street-style credentials rival her impressive filmography – often combining unexpected textures with classic silhouettes. Take this LBD for example: the demure black mini is given some bite with the addition of leather and corsetry. Mia’s trusty stiletto makes another appearance, and the dark oval sunglasses cut a mean figure we wouldn't want to mess with.
