Stunning actress Madeline Brewer looks sensational in dress made from a 1986 Sun front page
ACTRESS Madeline Brewer makes a splash — in a dress made from a Sun front page. Redhead Madeline, 33, star of Netflix hit You, wore it for Behind the Blinds magazine. 2 It features a January 1986 edition of The Sun — the first printed at Wapping. The style resembles the John Galliano newspaper dress worn by Sex and The City star Sarah Jessica Parker in the popular series. Madeline starred alongside actor Penn Badgley in popular series You. In the fifth and final series, which is now streaming, viewers will see Joe embarking on an affair with a young woman named Bronte, played by Madeline. They meet after she gains employment at his bookstore but it soon becomes clear that she has an ulterior motive after she developed suspicions that Joe was responsible for the death of her close friend. Penn has led the show since its inception on the streaming service but has shied away from getting down and dirty on-camera for the past two series. However, he has since decided that in order to give the show a "proper conclusion," he needs to head back to the bedroom to spice things up for the final series. 2 @behindtheblinds. Madeline is wearing @vetements_official on the cover. She's captured by @foxhunter & styled by @orettac. Shot for Behind The Blinds Magazine.
