Jodie Turner-Smith Revives Schiaparelli’s ‘Motherboard’ Couture at ‘Tron: Ares’ Paris Photocall

The tech-laden dress repurposes obsolete electronics to mirror the film’s digital aesthetic.

Overview

  • Turner-Smith appeared at the Tron: Ares Paris photocall at the Palais de Tokyo wearing Schiaparelli Spring 2024 Haute Couture.
  • The architectural mini integrates salvaged components including a BlackBerry Curve, USBs and chipsets, a CPU cooler, and calculators alongside Swarovski crystals and reflective silver fabric.
  • Schiaparelli’s Daniel Roseberry frames the piece as a fusion of old-world techniques with new-world technologies.
  • Styled by Law Roach, the look was finished with a sculptural acrylic-and-crystal choker, a keyhole minaudière, and understated heels.
  • The thematically on-brand choice nods to her character Athena and revives a viral runway moment from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2024 show; a reported late-night bar sighting in the dress remains unverified.
