Prada graced the 2025 Sundance Film Festival on January 25th, turning Park City's snow-covered streets into an effortless exhibition of cinema's brightest talents. The Italian house's elegant interpretation of winter festival dressing found expression through a carefully curated selection of looks worn by Carey Mulligan, Benedict Cumberbatch, Hailey Gates, and Rosy McEwen.
Mulligan, whose presence at the festival generated buzz, embodied Prada's sophisticated minimalism in two distinct appearances. For her daytime engagement, she chose a gray oversized double-breasted coat, its architectural lines softened by a neutral sweater beneath. The look, anchored by a black leather handbag and slim sunglasses, offered a study in understated luxury. As day turned to evening at "The Ballad of Wallis Island" premiere—one of the festival's most anticipated screenings—Mulligan's transition to formal wear maintained the same refined sensibility.
Benedict Cumberbatch brought masculine elegance to the Variety Sundance Cover Party, wearing a considered composition of camel corduroy jacket, black turtleneck, and impeccably tailored trousers. The ensemble demonstrated Prada's nuanced approach to contemporary menswear, striking an effortless balance between casual refinement and formal polish.
Hailey Gates, director of the critically acclaimed "Atropia," turned to Prada for a succession of noteworthy appearances. Her statement piece—a dramatic black coat with white fur collar—embodied the house's signature fusion of sculptural design and winter sophistication.
Rosy McEwen, star of "Rabbit Trap," completed Prada's festival narrative with an arresting appearance at the DEADLINE Portrait Studio. Her ensemble epitomized the house's ability to create moments of cinematic elegance, the carefully considered silhouette capturing both the intimacy of portraiture and the grandeur of Italian craftsmanship.
Through these curated moments, Prada illustrated the quiet power of considered design, where the house's revered codes transformed Park City's winter landscape into an extension of cinema's most rarefied celebration.
