Barbie Ferreira turned heads in Los Angeles when she debuted a bold new look at the Academy Women’s Luncheon on November 4.
The Euphoria alum, 28, stepped out in a fitted hot pink dress with ruffles paired with black heels, keeping the rest of her look simple with bare legs.
The striking appearance comes shortly after she made her Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show debut, where she walked the runway in a scarlet two-piece, an experience she playfully called a “crazy side quest” on Instagram.
Although her latest appearance sparked conversations online, Ferreira has not shared any details about workout or diet routines and has not commented on rumors about GLP-1 use.
What she is open about, however, is her long-standing views on self-image and beauty standards.
In 2022, she said, “I think bigger bodies aren’t as ‘trendy’ as they used to be, which I think is really sad.” She added that conversations about self-love still feel universal, saying it’s something “young people” continue to navigate.
Even though she left Euphoria after season 2, Ferreira remained focused on her career path.
She told me earlier PEOPLE that she has always had a clear vision for her future.
Growing up outside of Hollywood, she said there was “no plan B.” She described herself as determined: “If I want to do something, I will do my very best to make it happen and go through with it.”
That mentality also fuels her self-confidence. She explained that believing in her worth is an ongoing process, sharing, “Every day I learn something new about me and my craft, and as I get older, things happen.”
Ferreira’s recent red carpet moment suggests she’s entering a new chapter, one where she looks confident, energetic and ready for whatever comes next.
