Kate Mara Wore House of Gilles FW26 to the Gotham Television Awards

Kate Mara went full romantic drama at the 3rd Annual Gotham Television Awards, held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on June 1, 2026. The actress joined a red carpet lineup that included Michelle Pfeiffer, Kerry Washington, Lili Reinhart, and more, as the event celebrated standout work in television from the past year.

Mara, best known for roles in House of Cards, Fantastic Four, A Teacher, Pose, and The Martian, wore the House of Gilles Sydney Dress from the Fall/Winter 2026 collection. Just Jared also noted her House of Gilles look among the night’s red carpet credits.

The dress leaned into a very sculptural take on white lace. It had a high neckline, sheer lace yoke, and a capelet-style overlay across the shoulders, giving the top half a vintage, almost Victorian feel. Underneath, the bodice was more structured, with visible corset-style paneling that shaped the waist and added contrast to the soft lace texture.

The mini skirt kept the silhouette sharp and modern. It flared slightly from the hips, creating that doll-like volume House of Gilles does so well, while the sheer lace and layered construction stopped the look from feeling too sweet. The all-white palette gave it a bridal-adjacent mood, but the exposed structure and short length made it feel more fashion-forward than traditional.

She styled the dress with Jimmy Choo Saeda Satin Sandals in a soft metallic gold tone, adding ankle sparkle without distracting from the lace. Her hair was pulled into a sleek high bun, which worked perfectly with the high collar and kept the focus on the dress. A red lip added the right amount of polish and gave the whole look a clean, old-Hollywood finish.

It’s delicate, but not boring. The mix of lace, corsetry, and mini proportions made this one of Kate Mara’s more memorable recent red carpet moments.
