and is back in cinemas again as Caroline Hubbard in Kenneth Branagh’s adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. Last night, at the London premiere of the whodunnit drama, as she posed for photographs alongside co-stars Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz and Daisy Ridley, the California native was the dose of classic glamour that the red carpet always welcomes.
Wearing a liquid silver Prada gown with deep V-neck and short rolled sleeves and Louboutins, Pfeiffer has barely aged a day since she disappeared off the radar in a self-imposed exile around 2014. Now 59, she’s got the same ash-blonde hair, piercing blue eyes and porcelain skin that won her Hollywood’s attention in Grease 2, and scored her a breakout role in 1983’s Scarface.
Styled by Samantha McMillen, the celebrity dresser responsible for Elle and Dakota Fanning, Brie Larson and Carey Mulligan's red-carpet wardrobes, Pfeiffer is in good hands. The reviews of Murder on the Orient Express might have fallen short, but there was nothing average about Pfeiffer in Prada.
Her current film schedule might not predict the industry recognition the mother-of-two has had in the past – she earned three Oscar nominations in four years for Dangerous Liaisons, The Fabulous Baker Boys, and Love Field – but for now, she’s got the fashion set rallying to keep her in the spotlight.
