Somehow Challengers, Dune: Part Two, Wicked, Furiosa, It Ends With Us, Joker: Folie à Deux, and Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice were all released in 2024. This year was jam-packed with method dressing, the phenomenon of actors coordinating their fashion to a character or film. While it’s really only been in full swing for two years now, method dressing has grown exponentially, covering the red carpet in otherworldly looks, tennis homages, dystopian biker-chic, and—of course—lots of pink and green.
With plenty of films on the calendar for 2025, we’re sure to see plenty of method dressing ahead. I know what you’re thinking: Does any press tour really necessitate method dressing? No, but that won’t stop anyone from trying! Below, we’ve compiled a list of films that we think will beget some on-theme press looks in 2025. Watch this space…

Wicked Part 2
Let’s just get the obvious one out of the way, shall we? Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande spent the majority of 2024 in their film-related color palettes and we imagine they’ll spend much of 2025 that way, too. That begs the question: Will they get to take a break in between or are they just going to commit to two full years in?
A Simple Favor 2
It’s not that A Simple Favor is conducive to method dressing, but rather the actor at its center. Blake Lively promoted the 2018 film by dressing in a swathe of suits, just like her character Emily. Given Lively’s method dressing record, we can only imagine she’ll break out the suiting once again. May we suggest something from Saint Laurent’s fabulous spring 2025 collection?
