Kate Mara brought David Koma’s sharpened take on ’60s femininity to Apple TV’s “Imperfect Women” FYC event on Saturday, wearing a white lace minidress from the designer’s resort 2026 collection at The Culver Hotel in Culver City, Calif.
Celebrity costume designer and stylist Johnny Wujek pulled Look 6 from Koma’s resort lineup for Mara, with one notable adjustment from the runway: the skirt was lined more fully, making the mini read less sheer below the waist. Koma’s design paired a white molded-cup bodice with delicate floral lace through the midsection, plus two narrow ties at the center front. At the waist, oval side cutouts interrupted the lace and kept the silhouette from tipping too sweet, especially against the short, flared skirt.

The bottom half moved away from slip-like softness. Mara’s skirt sat close through the hips before opening into a short, structured flare, giving the white lace a cleaner ’60s shape rather than a fully romantic read. She kept the palette intact with white ankle-strap sandals, a minimal pair with narrow toe straps and slim heels. Mara Roszak styled her hair in loose waves, and Alisha Bailey kept the makeup soft, with defined eyes and a muted lip.
The look came from the David Koma resort 2026 collection Hikmat Mohammed reviewed for WWD last June. Koma had been revisiting “Mad Men,” looking to Betty Draper and Megan Calvet as reference points for a collection built around surface-level femininity and the complications beneath it. “I really wanted to keep this idea of femininity as a weapon and play with the duality of being done up, while remaining strong,” Koma told WWD at the time.

On Mara, that idea came through in a dress that used lace and white sandals without sliding all the way into bridal sweetness. It also landed within a broader celebrity run of bridal white dressing this season. Zendaya has leaned into white dresses and white heels during “The Drama” press tour, where the film’s wedding week plot gave the styling a built-in narrative. Lauren Sánchez Bezos returned to pristine whites and Christian Louboutin pumps for a “Today” appearance in early March, while Teyana Taylor changed into a white Chanel slip dress with chain straps for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party just over a week later.
Mara’s version was more compact and cutout-driven, which made sense for “Imperfect Women.” The Apple TV thriller, which premiered March 18 and heads into its season finale on April 29, centers on a crime that fractures a decades-long friendship among three women, with Mara co-starring alongside Kerry Washington and Elizabeth Moss.
