Lili Reinhart'S Bold Versace Moment: A Mean Girl'S Dream

Lili Reinhart Embraces Her Dark Side

Lili Reinhart is diving headfirst into her villain era as she steps into the spotlight for the Forbidden Fruits press tour. The actress, known for her role on Riverdale, takes on the character of Apple, a femme cult leader, in the horror-comedy set to hit theaters on March 27. And what better way to make a splash than with a vintage Versace mini dress that would make even Regina George green with envy?

Reinhart made her grand entrance on Good Morning America on March 12, alongside her Forbidden Fruits co-stars Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, and Alexandra Shipp. The dress code? Think '90s cool-girl clique. Reinhart nailed it with a long-sleeve little black dress that was anything but basic.

"Every element of the dress, from the stand collar to the thigh-grazing hem, clung to her like a second skin."

Vintage Versace Vibes

The standout piece, a creation by stylist Ib Abdel Nasser, was a 33-year-old design from Versace's Fall 1992 Couture collection – older than Reinhart herself. The ribbed fabric earned its "bandage" nickname, while black leather belts and gold buckles added a fierce touch. Paired with pointy Versace pumps and blood-red nails, Reinhart's look was a nod to the classic HBIC style.

Later that day, Reinhart switched gears with a black, micro-mini blazer dress, channeling sharp sophistication with shoulder pads and a hint of risqué flair. This ensemble, accessorized with sleek black pumps, cat-eye sunglasses, and a chic Antonio Marras bag, echoed her character Apple's edgy fashion sense.

From Red Carpet Glam to Mean Girl Chic

Reinhart's fashion evolution for the Forbidden Fruits tour is reminiscent of Margot Robbie's Victorian-inspired press looks. Just last week, she graced the 2026 Glaad Awards in a romantic, cool-toned green gown by Elie Saab – a far cry from her character's dark, bold wardrobe.

As the press tour unfolds, the question remains: will Reinhart continue to embrace the little black dress, or will she dive into Gen Z trends favored by her on-screen persona? One thing's for sure – she's not shying away from mean girl vibes, even if it means setting aside her signature style for a while.
