Nicholas Hoult Channels Dark Romance in Dior at ‘Nosferatu’ Berlin Premiere

Against a dramatic backdrop of Gothic lettering and stark black-and-white design, actor Nicholas Hoult brought heightened sartorial drama to the Berlin world premiere of "Nosferatu," wearing an ensemble from the Dior Men Fall 2024 collection that crystallized the evening's dark romance. The premiere, held ahead of the film's Christmas Day release, transformed the traditional red carpet moment into an exercise in modern Gothic luxury.

In a masterful display of Kim Jones' vision for Dior Men, a commanding black wool and mohair coat cut a striking silhouette against the premiere's theatrical setting. The layered look, featuring immaculately tailored black silk canvas trousers and a fluid black shirt, illustrated Jones' dexterity at blending historical references with contemporary sophistication. Leather derbies by the French fashion house completed the considered composition.

The monochromatic palette resonates particularly with the film's heritage as a landmark of German Expressionist cinema. In Robert Eggers' highly anticipated reimagining, Hoult portrays Thomas Hutter, a young realtor whose fateful journey to Transylvania sets the story in motion. His premiere ensemble, rich in textural interplay between wool, silk, and leather, creates subtle depth that echoes the chiaroscuro aesthetic central to both F.W. Murnau's 1922 original and Eggers' new interpretation.

The styling elevated the look further with clean, swept-back hair and minimal accessories, allowing the architectural elements of Jones' design to command focus. This sartorial restraint mirrors Hoult's nuanced performance as Hutter, a role that director Eggers specifically envisioned for the actor after their first meeting following The Witch.

The Berlin premiere continues Dior's legacy of dressing cinema's most compelling moments, while reinforcing the house's ability to capture zeitgeist through masterful tailoring. For Hoult, who will next be seen as Superman in James Gunn's upcoming film, this elegant yet haunting look proves a fitting choice for a film that promises to redefine vampire cinema for a new generation.
