This is how you do method dressing.
Forget Barbiecore and all the pink-and-green fanfare happening around the Wicked premiere. Demi Moore’s take on method dressing is more about subtlety than taking any and every theme literally. At the Los Angeles premiere of her new Paramount+ series Landman, Moore arrived in a shimmering black McQueen gown that featured allover beading and a love-it-or-hate-it high-low hemline.
Deadline reports that the Texas-set show will be about “oil drilling and profiteering” (What else would the Lone Star State have to offer in the eyes of producer Taylor Sheridan?) and Moore’s oil-slick-inspired understood the assignment but was subtle enough to stick to her usual M.O. of show-stopping understated looks.
Moore had a structured jacket on for part of her appearance, but slipped it off to reveal the dress's sparkly embellishment, halter bodice, turtleneck detail, and airy lace fabric. The hem had a long, trailing train and Moore finished the look with pointy Christian Louboutin heels with a delicate ankle strap and bold diamond jewels.
Landman is based on the podcast "Boomtown," which was produced by Texas Monthly. The first two episodes premiere on Sunday, November 17, with new episodes coming to Paramount+ every week following. Moore stars alongside Paulina Chávez, Michelle Randolph, Billy Bob Thornton, Ali Larter, and Jacob Lofland.
"Set in the proverbial boomtowns of West Texas, Landman is a modern-day tale of fortune-seeking in the world of oil rigs," a press release reads. "Based on the notable 11-part podcast 'Boomtown' from Imperative Entertainment and Texas Monthly, the series is an upstairs/downstairs story of roughnecks and wildcat billionaires fueling a boom so big, it’s reshaping our climate, our economy, and our geopolitics."
