Lucy Liu made a red carpet appearance at the premiere of her latest film, “Presence,” held at the AMC Lincoln Square Theater in New York on Thursday evening. She wore a striking black dress from Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad’s Fall 2024 collection.
Liu’s tulle dress featured a high, ruffled neckline and sheer lace panels along the bodice, embodying gothic romance. The dress’s full skirt, made from delicate layers of tulle, completed the dramatic silhouette.

Zuhair Murad’s Fall 2024 ready-to-wear collection was full of dark, science-inspired looks. “Lace dresses were topped with crisp white collars to create a look that wouldn’t be out of place on Wednesday Addams. There were also Gothic references translated into patterns reminiscent of the sacred details of 16th-century cathedrals, rendered in intricate lace patterns on blazers, or sprucing up a white poplin shirtdress or tunic,” WWD reported before.
The actress accessorized her look with long dangling diamond earrings and statement rings. She carried a black clutch that seamlessly complemented the ensemble.
Liu’s beauty look consisted of a pink lip, a touch of blush and mascara. Her hair was styled in a sleek updo with a ponytail.
Liu’s choice of sheer lace for her dress reflects the continued popularity of the sheer trend on red carpets. This style has been embraced by both designers and celebrities, appearing in the Spring 2025 ready-to-wear collections of labels such as Tory Burch and Tom Ford. Additionally, the look has been a recurring feature at major events, from the CMA Awards in November 2024 to the Golden Globes earlier this month.
In “Presence,” Liu plays the lead role of Rebecca Payne. The thriller follows a mix of exciting plot and psychological drama. At the premiere, the film’s cast, including Julia Fox, Callina Liang and Eddy Maday, gathered to celebrate the film’s upcoming theatrical debut. The film is scheduled to hit theaters nationwide on January 24th.
