Alexandra Daddario wore a black Brandon Maxwell Spring 2026 gown at the AMC Networks Upfront at Spring Studios in New York City on April 29, 2026. Her red carpet look focused on clean lines and restrained elegance, with a design that revealed its impact through subtle contrast.
The gown featured a high halter neckline that created a strong vertical line from shoulder to hem. The front remained deliberately minimal, with smooth black fabric skimming the body before falling into a soft flare at the bottom. Free of embellishment or heavy texture, the design relied entirely on cut and proportion. A matching black shawl draped over her arms added volume without disrupting the simplicity.
From the side and back, the open-back design shifted the tone. The halter shape left the shoulders fully exposed, introducing a contrast to the otherwise covered and structured front. This balance between restraint and reveal gave the gown a more dynamic presence.
She completed the look with pointed black heels and a sleek, pulled-back bun. A bold red lip provided the only pop of color, sharpening the monochrome palette and adding a refined finish.
