New York Film Festival 2026: Julianne Moore, Halle Bailey and Emma Stone at THE DEBUT Premiere

The ladies of The Debut came to the New York Film Festival premiere in a range of looks so wide we’re almost impressed by how differently each of them apparently see this film.

Julianne Moore

Julianne Moore has entered her Wacky Auntie era and we think that’s just great. For years, her red carpet style was severe and stale. But while we think this is a fun look and a good style direction for her to explore, those pants are pretty awful.

Halle Bailey in Alex Perry

We don’t think we’ve ever seen her in a skirt that wasn’t slit to the hip more than a handful of times. The lady likes what she likes, but we do think it would be good to switch things up more often. The design is genuinely interesting, however.

Emma Stone in Louis Vuitton

God, how drab. There’s a certain elegance in the design, but the colors are awful on her. The only way this dress works is on someone with much darker coloring and with some aggressive styling choices.

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
When Mona Friedman is cast in a bit part at a small community theater, she transforms from a shy, unassuming housewife into a zealous method actor willing to do anything to protect the artistic integrity of her marginal role—even if it means waging war against the show’s domineering director.
