The dress features a dramatic white ruffle detail on both the shoulder and around the torso. It also has shimmering silver embroidery throughout the tulle-like material. The blazer features a simple, structured shoulder and lapels.
She styled the elegant combination with a classic pair of Giuseppe Zanotti Carolyne suede pumps in the black colorway. The shoes are crafted in Italy with a 4-inch stiletto heel and pointed toe. They typically retail for $675 but are currently on sale for $338 on the brand’s website.

Watch on FN
Like with every occasion this year, the actress has opted to rewrite the red carpet rules this year and is re-wearing old gowns to the festival’s events.
All of the outfits worn for this year’s festival will be donated to the RAD at VENICE advocacy campaign after the event. The dresses will be auctioned off with the proceeds going towards non-profits, including Facing History and Ourselves and UN Women.
To upgrade your basic black pump collection, shop these similar styles.
