Haley Lu Richardson Turns Heads in Jaw-Dropping Nude Plunging Dress at Berlinale Premiere
Haley Lu Richardson was the undisputed life of the party at the European premiere of Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die on Friday night, February 13. Attending the 76th Berlinale International Film Festival at the iconic Zoo Palast, the actress stunned photographers not just with her style, but with her irrepressible energy. In a moment that quickly went viral, Richardson dropped into a perfect headstand right on the red carpet, much to the mock shock of her co-star Sam Rockwell.

The 30-year-old actress looked radiant for the Special Gala screening, embracing a playful yet sophisticated aesthetic for the Berlin winter. She was joined by an A-list ensemble including Zazie Beetz, Michael Peña, and director Gore Verbinski, all of whom seemed to delight in her red-carpet antics. I’m clearly the fun person in the group, she joked during a brief interview, noting that the high-stakes energy of the film’s plot didn’t stop the cast from having a blast behind the scenes.

In the film, Richardson plays Ingrid, a mysterious, bleach-blonde drifter with a peculiar allergy to technology that becomes a pivotal plot point. The story follows a man from the future (Rockwell) who takes over a Los Angeles diner to recruit a specific team to thwart a sentient AI apocalypse. It was such a unique script, and working with Sam was just a masterclass every day, she shared with Awards Radar ahead of the premiere.
Haley Lu Richardson has been having an exceptionally prolific 2026 so far. Just weeks before her Berlin arrival, she was at the Sundance Film Festival for the world premiere of Zi, a poetic sci-fi drama directed by Kogonada.
This marks her second collaboration with the director after the critically acclaimed Columbus, and early reviews suggest her performance as a woman connecting with her future self is an awards-season contender.
Whether she is doing headstands in Berlin or publishing raw poetry, Richardson continues to carve out one of the most authentic paths in Hollywood. Her ability to balance indie darlings like Zi with big-budget genre-benders like Verbinski’s latest proves her versatility as a leading lady.
