Zoey Deutch Shines in Brandon Maxwell at NYFF Screening

Zoey Deutch attended the Nouvelle Vague premiere held during the New York Film Festival on Tuesday evening.

Her press tour began with a vintage lean in Chanel during Cannes Film Festival, which felt pitch-perfect for the film’s introduction. Given that Nouvelle Vague focuses on French cinema in 1959, the archival nod was both clever and romantic—an homage to the era the film celebrates.

Now, however, her style has shifted gears into something altogether more modern. This Brandon Maxwell Resort 2026 look offered a masterclass in minimalist glamour. The crisp white shirt, worn effortlessly with a fluid column skirt and train, carried quiet confidence. It’s clean, sharp, and refreshingly unfussy.

What makes this work so well for Zoey is the contrast between the casual ease of an unbuttoned shirt and the drama of the floor-sweeping skirt. Something that you felt didn’t quite work with Jennifer Lawrence’s Phoebe Philo look during San Sebastián Film Festival.

Styled with Tiffany & Co. diamond stud earrings and Elsa Peretti® Bone cuffs, this outing marked a noticeable evolution in her press tour narrative—from vintage nostalgia to sleek modernity—and I loved seeing both sides of her style journey.

Stylist: Emma Jade Morrison.
