Shalom Brune-Franklin Is the Ultimate Fashion Awards Cool Girl in Micro Miu Miu

There’s a certain magic to getting ready for an event like The Fashion Awards; it’s a whirlwind of fabulous outfits and the sort of chaos that only comes with walking a red carpet—not that you’d know it speaking with actor Shalom Brune-Franklin, who attended the 2024 proceedings with Miu Miu. When I catch up with her the morning after, she is bright and cool, though perhaps tinged with the exhaustion of someone who’s barely had time to process the previous evening. Fresh off a flight from Bogotá, Colombia, Brune-Franklin tells me she went straight to London’s Peninsula Hotel to prepare for what is one of fashion’s most prestigious nights. So, did her evening live up to expectations?

“The awards were lovely,” she says. “It was such a nice evening all around.” With her friend Sara as her date, Brune-Franklin arrived at the iconic Royal Albert Hall in what many would class as a dream outfit—a pale pink Miu Miu mini dress, complete with tiny crystals placed delicately across the fabric, that was a standout from her fitting. “We had a few options, but this dress was the one. It fit perfectly and just felt right.” Finishing her look with a smattering of diamond jewels, black brushed-leather platform heels and Miu Miu’s covetable Arcadie bag, she was the epitome of a seasoned fashion girl.

That said, getting red carpet-ready isn’t as simple as slipping into a dress and stepping into heels—it’s a collaborative production with many of moving parts. “I think we had about an hour to pull it all together,” Brune-Franklin admits. “It was a bit of a whirlwind trying to get dressed, finish hair and makeup and making sure I ate something before heading out—lots of coffee was consumed!” She credits Miu Miu for making the entire experience—even the rush to get ready—feel effortless: “The hardest part was choosing what to wear because everything was beautiful. That’s the thing with Miu Miu—you just want to be able to wear it all!”
