First up, Dior global ambassador Mikey Madison radiated effortless elegance on the red carpet at the 2026 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards before taking the stage to accept the Film Actress of the Year Award from Canadian actress and filmmaker Taylor Russell.

Academy Award-winning actress Mikey donned a custom silver-grey Christian Dior evening gown designed under the direction of the brand’s creative director, Jonathan Anderson, and styled by Andrew Mukamal. The look featured a figure-hugging strapless corset embellished with delicate tonal botanical details and oversized floral motifs, a sculpted waist, and a mid-calf tea-length tulip skirt defined by voluminous rounded vertical pleats and matching botanical and floral accents.

To finish her Dior look at the 2026 Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards, “Anora” star Mikey Madison stepped out in the label’s ankle-strap heels, crafted in Dior Byzance Garden metallic jacquard with a bold allover floral motif and a crystal-embellished, hand-painted metal flower at the toe.

 

She further elevated the look with a black rectangular Dior Fall/Winter 2026 clutch, embellished with a white mother-of-pearl lotus, and Tiffany & Co. jewelry, including gold “Bird on a Rock Bird” earrings set with pavé diamonds and sapphires, a platinum-and-gold Sixteen Stone diamond necklace, a coordinating dangling “Bird on a Rock Bird” gold pendant accented with pavé diamonds and sapphires, and a Schlumberger swirl ring.
