Kerry Condon opted for a velvet Alaïa dress for Tuesday night’s premiere of “Pressure” in New York City.
“The Banshees of Inisherin” Oscar-nominated star turned to the Parisian luxury fashion label’s resort collection, which offered a mix of winter and spring styles in dark tones and an array of contrasting fabrics and materials along with a spotlight on accessories.
Condon’s dark velvet dress was designed with an off-the-shoulder neckline and with slightly sculptured elements. A low-back gave the floor-length dress further intrigue, while a sinuous neckline softened the overall effect of the piece.

Long sleeves and a streamlined silhouette elevated the dress to subdued elegance. Condon went minimalist with her jewelry pieces, save for a glittering ring and ear cuff. Her gold hair was styled with a slight side part and worn down in cascaded soft waves. Makeup highlights included bold brows, lined eyes and a glossy pink lip.
Debuting in November 2025, Alaïa’s 2026 resort collection marked creative director Pieter Mulier’s last curation before the Paris luxury label confirmed the couturier’s departure in January 2026.
“The studio will ensure continuity in the interim period until a creative organization is confirmed,” the brand said in a statement, adding that the fashion house wished Mulier “every success in his future endeavors; he will always remain part of the Alaïa family.”
In February 2026, Mulier was formally announced as Versace’s chief creative officer. His tenure will officially begin in July.
“Pressure” chronicles the 72 hours before the events of D-Day, in which General Dwight D. Eisenhower, played by Oscar winner Brendan Fraser, and Captain James Stagg, played by Andrew Scott, face a choice to launch a dangerous seaborne invasion or risk losing World War II. The film hits theaters Friday.
