Jodie Turner-Smith just short-circuited the red carpet.
The actress brought new meaning to the term “wearable technology” at the “Tron: Ares” premiere in Paris Wednesday night, wearing a jaw-dropping Schiaparelli couture dress constructed from old computer parts.
The 39-year-old actress — who stars in the highly anticipated sequel to the sci-fi franchise — paid homage to the film’s digital universe with the look, which featured salvaged circuit boards, computer chips and electronic components meticulously sewn onto the structured silhouette.
Designer Daniel Roseberry sent the look down Schiaparelli’s Spring 2024 Haute Couture runway in a collection that explored the tension between society’s full-tilt embrace of artificial intelligence and the nostalgia for Y2K-era artifacts like flip phones and digital cameras.
Of the pre-2007 tech adorning the dress, he told reporters, “Now, the technology I grew up with is so antiquated that it’s almost as difficult to source as certain vintage fabrics and embellishments.”
Turner-Smith paired the futuristic frock with the same glitzy choker the label featured on the runway, along with Tiffany HardWare Large Link earrings ($1,925) and transparent skyscraper pumps.

The “Queen & Slim” star was styled by Law Roach, who posted the look on Instagram with the caption, “Oh it’s Couture….”
“MOTHER WEARING MOTHERBOARD STYLED BY MOTHER !” one commenter wrote.
Paris-based designer Jude Macasinag posted a photo of Turner-Smith out on the town on X later the same night, writing, “Just spotted the Schiaparelli Haute Couture S/S 2024 motherboard dress at a bar in the wild tonight.”
The social media snap showed off the back of the dress, adorned with a digital point-and-shoot camera, trailing cords, and a CD in place of a back pocket.
