Gillian Anderson Cuts Off Her Pantyhose in the Backseat of Her Car En Route to Scoop Premiere: 'A Girl Must'

Gillian Anderson knows: a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do.

The actress, 55, who attended the world premiere of her latest project Scoop in London on Thursday, dressed to impress in a strapless green Emilia Wickstead number. However, the pantyhose she wore under her dress were apparently not working with her.

So she took a pair of scissors to them while in the backseat of the car on the way to the red carpet.

"A girl must," she wrote.

"Thanks to driver Simon for having scissors to hand moments before the Scoop red carpet," she added to a video of herself with her dress hiked up cutting the tights off her legs.

She shared another look at her hack job on her grid (along with other moments from the evening.)

Just minutes later, she arrived at The Curzon Mayfair looking flawless as ever.

Anderson can always be counted on for a style moment. She practically broke the internet when she showed up at the 2024 Golden Globes in a gorgeous dress covered in vulva-shaped embroidery created by Gabriella Hearst.

"[I wore it] for so many reasons," the actress told Deadline of the female anatomy covered design, adding, "it's brand appropriate."

Inside the show, she told PEOPLE that the dress has a floral inspiration, noting what she loved most about it was that “it’s covered in peonies!”

She took to Instagram following the award show to share a behind-the-scenes look at her day — and to drop a cheeky photo eating a sausage.

In the carousel caption, she even nodded to her viral dress, joking, "Sometimes you just need a sausage to go with your yoni dress."
