Chloe Fineman Channeled Lily-Rose Depp in 90-Degree Weather at SXSW – ELLE
Fresh off of sharing the stage with Lady Gaga on Saturday Night Live, Chloe Fineman ditched New York City for Austin, Texas, this week for the premiere of her new film, Summer of 69, at South by Southwest. For the summer-like temperatures, she braved the heat in a butter-yellow silk sleeveless dress by The Row, and channeled Lily-Rose Depp when it came to glam. (Fineman likes to call her “LRD.”) “At first glance, you’re like, she’s gone bridal. We’re not,” Fineman tells ELLE.com. But she’s also not above dropping unsubtle hints. “This is giving my boyfriend ideas, that’s the plan,” she jokes. Summer of 69 is a new teen comedy from Hulu featuring a handful of big names including Charlie Day, Nicole Byer, fellow SNL star Alex Moffat, Paula Pell, Liza Koshy, and more. Fineman, who plays a stripper in the film, says she got into some preparation after watching Anora. “I watched a two-second clip and was like, I gotta train!” she says. She even had her lawyer “negotiate pole lessons and hair extensions.”Below, Fineman takes us behind the scenes as she gets ready for the premiere with her glam team—and her dog, Peach. Our glam inspo for all of SXSW has been “LRD,” which is slang for Lily-Rose Depp that I like to say in vocal fry.I can’t not make an “O” face while putting on mascara. Here I am with my tried-and-true Makeup by Mario palette. We used that puppy daily.I know this is giving “bride.” But it’s actually giving “it’s 91 degrees today, and this slip dress from The Row was the coolest option.” Like I wouldn’t wear it over a bathing suit, but it was very Texas humidity friendly.I won’t, but I really want to steal this Erede necklace. Gosh, she is gorgeous.Word of advice: Silk for a carpet, while beautiful, will mean you have to steam that shit 30 million times. Here I am steaming with my steamer I bought just for this dress while the shower is running for more steam. #steam #steamUSADo you think it’s giving LRD??? Also Lily-Rose, if you’re somehow, for whatever reason reading this, can I please play your weird older sister??So my dog came to SXSW, and truly Peach had been amazing until this moment when he wouldn’t move and blocked the glam team from getting their products.Not. A. Wrinkle. In. Sight. You know we steamed the hell out of this dress when even the back is smooth as butter.Truly I am gobsmacked by how I am holding this cell phone/clutch. Like, it’s literally defying gravity?So, yeah, this is insane. Had to lie corpse-bride position to not wrinkle the dress. But I kind of look like an elegant silk mummy.Seeing my costar Sam Morelos for the first time, and we coordinated?!I do love how this came together. My glam team, Lauren Anderson and Kelsey James, nailed the LRD glam inspo, and truly nothing chicer than The Row and this beautiful Erede necklace. Really proud of how this turned out. And not giving bride, which was my concern.This is when I was like, “Hi, I’m in my 30s. Can we not be in direct sunlight for 30 minutes?”God bless the press. It was 91 million degrees.Also Kiernan Shipka, if you’re reading this—I petition to also play your weird older sister.Movie is about to play. In this pic, I haven’t seen it yet. I’m also really happy to have no nip slips in this pic. But truly the movie turned out so great!
