Melissa Barrera brought slick style to the red carpet for the “Scream 6” premiere this week. The horror film, which Barrera stars in alongside Jenna Ortega, Courteney Cox, Hayden Panetierre, Jasmin Savoy Brown and Mason Gooding, releases in theaters on March 10.

While hitting the red carpet at AMC Lincoln Square in New York City on Monday night, Barrera posed in a long black Zuhair Murad dress. Styled by Penny Lovell, the “Scream” star’s style featured a sleeveless silhouette with a plunging neckline, accentuated by a sharp cutout bodice and flounced trim. Giving the piece a romantic finish were flounce-lined heart accents and cutouts on its skirt, complete with two thigh-high slits.

When it came to shoes, Barrera strapped into a pair of towering heels by FNAA-winning designer Andrea Wazen. Her $820 Double Jeu Glitz style included black kappa leather uppers lined with sparkling Swarovski crystals, complete with pointed toes and two thin Mary Jane straps for a sophisticated appearance. Thick platform soles, as well as 6.5-inch stiletto heels, smoothly finished the pair with a towering height boost while bringing Barrera’s sleek outfit a burst of dynamic glamour.
