Bella Thorne took sleek style to the front row for Roberto Cavalli‘s fall 2023 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week

While in the brand’s front row alongside stars including Maye Musk, Sara Sampaio and Tina Leung, Thorne posed in a sleek black Cavalli dress. Designed by creative director Fausto Puglisi, her ensemble featured a long-sleeved silhouette with a maxi-length skirt. Dividing the minimalist piece was a backless cutout, as well as two large side cutouts cinched by a silver and turquoise medallion accent.

Thorne paired the dynamic dress with tortoiseshell-framed sunglasses, metal drop earrings, and a maroon suede version of Cavalli’s crystal tiger-handled Roar handbag — tapping into the Western themes throughout the brand’s runway show.

However, the “Shake It Up” actress‘ style took the form of a pointed-toe pump with a stiletto-heeled base, complete with shimmering, glossy uppers in a slick purple hue. The smooth set added a sleek pop of color to her dynamic attire, creating a hidden shoe statement in the process..
