And much like their onscreen counterparts, the four women’s distinctive personalities were all on display with their eye-catching ensembles. Timothée Chalamet (who plays Laurie, the character portrayed by Christian Bale in the 1994 version) was all goofy charm, photobombing Gerwig on the carpet in Alexander McQueen. So much so that the red carpet regularly was thrown into chaos with every cast member stopping to hug each other and collectively bask in the excitement of the evening. “It was an irreplaceable memory, and now we’re all besties, truly.” “We moved to Concord, Massachusetts, where the Alcott family is, from September to Christmas, so we really lived together and became a family,” said Laura Dern, who plays the March sisters’ mother, Marmee. Starring Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, and Eliza Scanlen as the four March sisters coming of age in 1860s New England, the premiere felt less like a red-carpet event than a family reunion for the castmates.

On Saturday night, the Museum of Modern Art hosted the premiere for Little Women, director Greta Gerwig’s latest adaptation of the Louisa May Alcott novel hitting theaters Christmas Day.
