The stars of 'Practical Magic 2' brought their mystical charm to the red carpet during the film's Los Angeles premiere at the Directors Village on Monday night. The event was less of a standard movie screening and more of a high-fashion spectacle, as the cast embraced the film's 'witchy' aesthetic through exquisite designer pieces.

Leading the fashion brigade was Nicole Kidman, who made a significant statement by debuting Pieter Mulier’s inaugural design for Atelier Versace. The sleeveless black lace dress featured intricate botanical references and an asymmetric skirt, perfectly bridging the gap between the film's mystical themes and modern luxury. Her look was masterfully curated by stylist Jason Bolden.

Meanwhile, rising stars Maisie Williams and Joey King added layers of dark glamour to the evening, with Williams sporting Maison Margiela and King opting for an Ilya Migmoon design.
