Sabrina Elba Goes Backless in Coral Fendi Dress With Idris Elba for ‘Knuckles’ Premiere
Sabrina Elba brought high-fashion to the “Knuckles” London premiere red carpet on Tuesday. The model joined her husband, actor Idris Elba, for the premiere of his lasted project, an animated TV miniseries centered on the character from the “Sonic the Hedgehog” game.
For the red carpet occasion, Sabrina Elba opted to wear a knit dress from the Fendi spring 2024 collection. The coral look featured a backless cut with an asymmetrical neckline and fabric draping, which wrapped behind Elba’s neck and over her shoulder. She also wore a pair of bright white Christian Louboutin pointed-toe pumps.

As for her accessories, Elba wore pieces courtesy of Tiffany & Co. Her makeup, which featured subtle blue winged eyeliner, was done by Maha, with hair styled by Papachichi Style in London. Elba’s entire look was curated by stylist Kim Russell.
Fendi’s spring 2024 collection made its runway debut during Milan Fashion Week in September 2023. The collection, from designer Kim Jones, featured a bevy of looks in dusty pastels and vivid shades. “I just wanted everything quite graphic,” the artistic director of Fendi’s women’s collection said.
Elba herself is no stranger to toying with color schemes and fitted pieces. While attending the NAACP Image Awards alongside her husband, the model wore a Versace gown in a nude hue from the brand’s fall 2001 collection, adding a touch of vintage flare to the red carpet occasion.
Apart from red carpet and industry events, the Elbas have been busy with business ventures and high-profile campaigns. Calvin Klein tapped the couple as the faces for the Eternity Aromatic Essence campaign in March.
“Idris and I are passionate about the beauty and wellness industries and creating inclusive work that makes us feel beautiful in our skin, in an industry where our needs can often feel underserved,” Sabrina Elba said in an email. “Calvin Klein is an iconic brand that has always encouraged freedom and self-expression. We loved creating these images with the team and partnering with Calvin Klein on the Eternity campaign.”
