Canadian tuxedos have always possessed an “if you know, you know” kind of chicness, but how you style them makes all the difference. Uma Thurman embraced the look at the New York premiere of Dexter Resurrection, wearing a custom GapStudio denim ensemble designed by Zac Posen, executive vice president and creative director of Gap Inc. The Kill Bill actress posed for photos alongside the original Dexter himself, Michael C. Hall, and co-star Peter Dinklage.
The trick to making it not your dad’s Canadian tuxedo? Swap the separates for a wide-legged jumpsuit. Underneath, Thurman sported an ivory silk charmeuse long-sleeve collared shirt. Both the blouse and the darker wash helped bring the typically casual look from day to night.
“Uma is a longtime friend and a true force—she brings such elegance, intelligence, and magnetism to everything she does,” Posen says. “I wanted this custom indigo denim look to feel effortless but powerful, just like her. It’s all about precision, ease and that undeniable Uma presence.”
Gap is in the midst of a quiet renaissance. Since Posen’s appointment in February 2024, an unmistakable It factor has crept back into the household brand. Red carpet moments have played a key role in establishing its evolving house codes under his direction.
“Each one has been a powerful way to express GapStudio’s creative potential,” Posen told ELLE earlier this month. “Red carpet dressing is a kind of high-frequency communication—it lets us amplify the brand codes through an artistic lens.” From Laura Harrier’s three-piece suit at the 2025 Met Gala to Anne Hathaway’s shoppable shirtdress—and now Thurman’s denim jumpsuit—Posen has seamlessly blended Gap’s sensibilities with his own relatable allure.
