Evan Rachel Wood Wows on the Red Carpet
GettyWood, who was famously in a relationship with musician Marilyn Manson, made a rare red carpet appearance and looked absolutely gorgeous in a figure-hugging red dress. She completed her look with matching red lipstick, a red clutch bag, and she styled her hair into an updo.
The synopsis for the show, per IMDb, reads, “The Shards is part teenage coming of age, erotic thriller and exploration of the untamed and mysterious era of Los Angeles 1981, tracking a group of privileged high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the city.”
In addition to Wood, the series stars Hayes Warner, Kaia Gerber, Igby Rigney, Homer Gere, and Graham Campbell. The cast posed on the red carpet and at the after-party event held in the show’s honor. “The Shards” will premiere on Hulu and FX on August 5, but there is already a lot of hype surrounding the series, which is adapted from the novel by Bret Easton Ellis and created by Ryan Murphy.

Evan Rachel Wood Discusses ‘Practical Magic 2’
While on the red carpet, Wood was asked about her role in “Practical Magic.” She appeared in the 1998 film when she was 11.
