Charli XCX attended the premiere of Erupcja at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday, marking what was described as her acting debut, and drew attention on the red carpet in a racy sheer black dress.
The 33-year-old singer, whose given name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, wore a short, satin-like dress with a plunging neckline and a flirty hemline without a bra, pairing the look with black pointed-toe heels and wearing her jet-black hair down. She prominently displayed a wedding ring; she married The 1975 drummer and producer George Daniel in a low-key ceremony in July.
Festival appearances often provide a high-profile launchpad for performers moving between music and film, and several musicians have appeared on TIFF red carpets in recent years as filmmakers and actors. Organizers listed Erupcja among the titles screening during the festival; the premiere provided the platform for the artist's transition into a credited screen role.
On the red carpet, photographers captured a series of poses as attendees entered the screening, and Charli XCX's outfit was among those that generated coverage in national and entertainment outlets. Representatives for the singer did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the film or her role.
Charli XCX rose to prominence as a pop artist and songwriter and has collaborated with a range of performers and producers across the music industry. The Toronto appearance continues a season of increased public visibility for the artist, who has balanced recording and touring with high-profile appearances since establishing her career.
The Toronto International Film Festival runs annually in early September and is a common venue for premieres and international industry attention. Erupcja's screening at the festival placed the film and its cast, including Charli XCX, before an international audience of critics and industry professionals.
