2 min read2026 has had no shortage of press tours. From The Devil Wears Prada 2 to The Odyssey to Euphoria to The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, it’s been a year of global rollouts and method dressing. And we’re not quite done yet.
Earlier this week, Hunter Schafer kicked off the Blade Runner 2099 promo at the Los Angeles premiere in a custom Prada leather micro dress and voluminous fur coat—and since then, she’s been bringing her A game to the miniseries’ press. Working with stylist Dara, the Euphoria actor has showed up in straight-off-the-runway pulls and vintage finds alike, piecing together a dynamic collection of ensembles as she counts down the days to the November 25 release date.
While the sci-fi series takes place some 73 years in the future, Schafer turned back a couple decades for the first day of her press junket. Working with Dara once again, the actor was seen wearing a full look from the Undercover Fall/Winter 2007 collection.
The Y2K ensemble was composed of a handful of neutral layers, including a turtleneck base, a long-sleeve ribbed knit top with sheer accents, and little micro shorts in chocolate brown. She wore ear muffs and her hair in pigtails, and tucked her semi-sheer thigh-high stockings into black-and-brown wedges.

Later, the star switched gears, selecting a vibrant color-blocked minidress from Zane Li’s Spring/Summer 2027 collection for Lii. The high-contrast runway piece saw a bright-teal shift dress with a square neckline and spaghetti straps, layered with an open-back coral-orange piece with a similar silhouette. (See photos here.)
Out at the end of the month, Blade Runner 2099 takes place half a century after the events of 2017’s Blade Runner 2049. The science-fiction limited series stars Schafer as Cora, a human fugitive posing as a Blade Runner, alongside Michelle Yeoh as Olwen, an aging Blade Runner facing death.
