Demi Moore’s Micro Mini LBD Had One of Fashion’s Most Controversial Hems

Demi Moore loves to take risks for her carpeted appearances, from attending a screening of The Substance in a blazer and parachute pants with her dog Pilaf as an accessory, to revamping the classic LBD to include a surprising neckline. The unexpected moments continue with Moore’s appearance at the 2024 Governors Awards, which saw her having a leggy moment on the red carpet and stepping foot first into one of fashion’s most controversial hemlines.

For the event, which took place at the Grand Ballroom of the Hollywood and Highland Center in Los Angeles on November 17, Moore wore a tried and true little black dress from Givenchy’s Fall Winter 2024 collection. The dress ventured into micro territory, giving the actress’s legs a chance to shine—literally—and also allowed a unique detail to take center stage.

The mini dress also featured a wing-like detail that extended from its sides to give the effect of a bubble hem that went all the way to the ground, acting like a train for the back of Moore’s dress. To further dial up the drama, the 62-year-old piled on the accessories, wearing a chandelier necklace dripping in diamonds, and chandelier earrings with emerald stones. Moore’s hair was styled in loose waves and her signature middle part.

Moore’s leggy dress moment comes just days after she reflected on Hollywood beauty standards in an interview with Elle. She recalled the blowback she received from appearing in Charlie’s Angels in a bikini.

“I never imagined in a million years that the shot of me in Charlie’s Angels would become such a big conversation,” she reflected. “But I was 40, which meant I shouldn’t have a body that was desirable—that’s what I challenged.”

While society has shifted how it perceives older women, Moore still thinks there’s work to do with how postmenopausal women are looked at. “I do think that’s changed, and now I happen to be 62 at a point where we need to reevaluate the desirability of a woman who has gone through menopause,” she said. “Women used to be relegated to the sidelines, made to be, in fact, almost asexual. It’s not like I’ve set out to redefine that; it’s really that I’ve just been trying to find what’s truthful and authentic within myself—and if I can do that, then hopefully that reflects for others.”
