Katarina Zhu & Rachel Sennott Wore Matching Anna Sui Butterfly Dresses For The \u2018Bunnylovr\u2019 Premiere<\/h1>\n

How does one get dressed for their debut feature film premiere<\/a>? If you\u2019re a meticulous planner and master of manifestation like Katarina Zhu, you turn your moodboard dreams into reality with a little help from your friends. Zhu\u2019s first movie as a director, Bunnylovr<\/em>, had its film-festival debut at Sundance last year,<\/a> and her and costar Rachel Sennott <\/a>went all-in for the premiere in Los Angeles. Anna Sui\u2019<\/a>s Spring\/Summer 1997 collection was the inspiration for Zhu\u2019s dress, and with the support of her friend (and Sui\u2019s niece) Jeannie Sui Wonders, she borrowed two matching dresses with butterfly wings attached for the evneing. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a full-circle moment for the NYU alumnae as they extend their wings into new territory, and fits with the cutesy-slash-dark mood of the film, which sees Zhu as a sad cam girl who gets gifted a bunny by an anonymous online client. Zhu made sure all other stars were aligned for her getting-ready process, including a reunion with a beloved makeup artist and friend, entering a slight panic about not having a full-length mirror (real), and, in true director form, being obsessive about her glam for the evening. See how she blossomed into an Anna Sui butterfly for the big night (and still made it home for a late-night sandwich). <\/p>\n

\u201cI’m such a control freak when it comes to glam because I feel like there’s a really thin line and once you’ve crossed it, suddenly you start feeling like a clown.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
