Ever wonder what goes into playing a modern-day scream queen? Turns out, acting like you are fighting for your life on set is exactly as wild as you’d imagine. “We filmed on location thousands of miles away from home, keeping nocturnal hours on night shoots, covered in blood sweat and tears, crying into each other’s arms scene after scene,” says Wonders. “It sounds traumatic, but we were laughing our asses off between every take. Jenn brought together a rare breed of young actors who are not only incredibly talented, but also want to see each other win. I love ’em all.”

Similarly special and collaborative? Wonders’s experience working with stylist Thomas Carter Phillips on her look for the movie’s splashy premiere. Together, they landed on a lingerie-inspired look from Wiederhoeft that felt like a fresh take on evening dressing, thanks to the structured corset and silky lace-trimmed skirt.

“I’ve been a fan girl of Wiederhoeft for a while now,” says Wonders. “His silhouettes are so singular. Thomas and I wanted to find something fun and feminine, and our jaw dropped as soon we set eyes on this set.” She accessorized the ensemble with dainty pearl jewels by Presley Oldham, a favorite jeweler of hers. “I’ve worn a Presley piece almost every day for the last couple years,” says Wonders. “No two pieces look alike. I’m pretty minimal when it comes to jewels, and I love that his pieces feel raw and natural—like they’re an organic extension of yourself.”

With the film in theaters on Friday, Wonders still has a press tour to finish, meaning there will be many more striking fits to come. And while she won’t go full-tilt on method dressing, Wonders does view the red carpet as a place to nod to her movies. “I gravitate towards looks that feel in the spirit of the project—taking the character and turning her up a couple notches and imbuing some of my personal style in there,” she says.

After her whirlwind tour wraps up, the star plans to engage in some much-needed R&R. Her immediate plans? “Surfing and playing tennis as much as I possibly can!” After screaming her lungs out on the big screen, she’s definitely earned it.
