Getting Ready With
Brat Scarves & Alexander Skargård’s Feet: Inside The Moment’s Sundance Premiere With Trew Mullen
Studded shoes were a Park City must-have.
It was a Friday night like any other the small ski town of Park City in Utah, with snow dusting the rooftops and The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City stars making afterparty appearances. But really, it was a Brat reunion and star-making turn for the cast of The Moment, Charli xcx’s headlining movie at Sundance Film Festival. Director Aidan Zamiri and most of the cast — including Alexander Skarsgård, Rachel Sennott, Kate Berlant, Tish Weinstock, and Isaac Cole Powell — turned up to celebrate their satirical, darkly postcapitalist film.
Trew Mullen made it in from Los Angeles just in time to pick out a premiere outfit (stylist Mimi Cuttrell helped her slip into a Chloé Fall/Winter 2025 suit) that uncannily matched the freak of Skarsgård’s Rockstud flip-flops. Mullen plays Charli’s assistant in the The Moment, and while many plot points remain unclear, if her turn in Blink Twice as a stoner-captive is any indication, she is down to clown with the best of them. Her first Sundance appearance included a philosophical debate over shoe choice, beating the nerves while 7,000 feet above sea level, and yes, a Brat-green scarf that acted as a calling card on festival grounds.

“Thirty-one Flavors. My mom always says the most important part of an outfit is the shoes, which leaves me deciding who I’m supposed to be for the next 24 hours.”
“Hemming my nerves. I’ve always been obsessed with those little pin cushions. I’m tempted to wear one bopping around town for the sake of it.”
“Indecision. I have no idea what this dress is for, but I was tempted to pet it like a small animal.”
“A study in silk.”
“Morning traffic.”
“Higher up traffic.”
“Festival hall pass. Hotels always have a way of making me feel anonymous.”
“Yasuko. She did my makeup once years ago, so this felt like a small reunion. When she knocked on the door, my hair was in a collapsing bun, and my face was still dripping from the sink. I apologized for my chaos with a growling toothbrush in my mouth. She fixed me up with an impromptu astrology reading while painting my cheeks.”
“And done.”
“Almost here. The last year Park City will shine these letters across town.”
“My first festival. A Chloé suit. My mother’s curling iron.”
“Two philosophies, same carpet.”
“Proof of the night, resting on a car seat the next morning.”
“Love letters. New York was snowed in and flights were canceled, as I slipped off to LA.”
