DUBAI: US actress Rachel Brosnahan attended the premiere of “Superman” in Rio de Janeiro this week wearing a gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad.
She wore a floor-length dress crafted from sheer navy blue fabric, adorned with geometric beadwork and sequins. The design featured a structured, plunging neckline with wide shoulder straps. The fitted bodice extended into a subtly flared mermaid-style skirt.

The movie follows a young Clark Kent as he navigates his dual identity as Superman and a journalist at the Daily Planet, striving to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing.
Set to release on July 11, “Superman” stars David Corenswet in the titular role, with Brosnahan portraying the iconic reporter and central figure in Clark Kent’s personal and professional life.
The eponymous hero has been described by producer Peter Safran as “the embodiment of truth, justice and the American way.”
The premiere was attended by Brosnahan, Corenswet and Gunn.
Since founding his brand in 1997, Murad has gained international attention. His creations have been worn by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Taylor Swift, Celine Dion, Sofia Vergara, Kristen Stewart and Scarlett Johansson on major red carpets.
He is one of a handful of Arab designers on the official Paris Fashion Week and Paris Haute Couture Week calendars.
Murad was recently championed by British Lebanese actress Razane Jammal, who wore a black ruched gown featuring a plunging neckline and tie detail at the waist from the designer’s ready-to-wear Pre-Fall 2025 collection to the launch of the Panthère de Cartier collection in Istanbul this week.
In April, American actress Blake Lively and singer songwriter Nicole Scherzinger both wore Zuhair Murad designs to the 2025 Time 100 Gala.
Lively opted for a pink taffeta off-the-shoulder gown with a corseted bodice and train detail from Murad’s Spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection. Scherzinger chose a black off-the-shoulder sequined gown from the designer’s Pre-Fall 2025 ready-to-wear collection.
