Mckenna Grace Wears Vera Wang Lace Gown for Hunger Games Sydney Tour

Mckenna Grace brought a little fairy-tale magic to the The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping press tour in Sydney, stepping out in an archival Vera Wang Bridal Spring 2020 lace gown on October 14, 2026.

The actress, best known for Gifted and her role as Phoebe Spengler in the recent Ghostbusters films, is currently playing Maysilee Donner in the new Hunger Games prequel. Her latest promotional wardrobe has been just as interesting as the movie itself, with Grace leaning into romantic, character-inspired fashion.

For this Sydney appearance, she wore the mauve Vera Wang lace dress with a fitted bodice, delicate straps and a dramatic mermaid-shaped skirt that opened into a long sweeping train. A soft gray floral detail sat on one shoulder, while the peach-toned lining underneath the lace gave the dress a warm, dreamy finish. The intricate lace texture made the gown feel almost vintage.

The styling really came together with her beauty look. Grace wore her long blonde hair in loose, crimped waves with a small braid, decorating it with tiny daisies, pink flowers and pastel butterfly clips. The result had a distinctly fairycore aesthetic, but still felt polished enough for a major film press appearance. Her makeup stayed soft and fresh, with pink-lilac shimmer around the eyes, rosy cheeks and glossy pink lips.

She finished the look with floral diamond earrings and rings from Chopard, echoing the flowers woven through her hairstyle.

Grace’s fashion run has been especially strong throughout The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping press tour. She has moved between playful, youthful looks and more dramatic gowns, keeping each appearance distinct while still fitting the film’s romantic Capitol-inspired world.

Her Sydney appearance also follows two other memorable fashion moments from the promotional tour. She previously wore a yellow Asta Resort dress for an appearance at the Empire State Building, bringing a bright and summery feel to the occasion.

She also embraced a more polished designer look in Monique Lhuillier while promoting the film. That appearance showed another side of her press-tour style, with a more classic and elegant approach. Read our earlier coverage of Mckenna Grace in Monique Lhuillier for The Hunger Games.

For the Sydney appearance, though, the Vera Wang gown feels particularly suited to Grace. Between the delicate lace, sweeping train, flowers in her hair and soft makeup, the whole look has that dreamy fairycore aesthetic without becoming overly costume-like.

Grace is currently starring as Maysilee Donner in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, the upcoming prequel based on Suzanne Collins’ novel. The film is set decades before Katniss Everdeen’s story and follows the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. With the movie scheduled for release on November 20, 2026, Grace’s promotional wardrobe is already becoming an interesting part of the film’s fashion conversation.
