Christina Ricci Cinches into Velvet Dress and Hidden Heels at Directors’ Guild Awards 2023 Red Carpet

Christina Ricci brought dark elegance to the Directors Guild Awards this year. The actress attended the awards as a presenter, along with Billy Eichner, for the Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Children’s Programs award — which was given to Anne Renton for “Best Foot Forward, ‘Halloween.'”

Ricci hit the red carpet at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown on Saturday, wearing a sleek black velvet Galvan London dress. Her ensemble featured a bodycon fit with a one-sleeved silhouette, accentuated by a knotted upper shoulder accent. Completing the “Wednesday” actress‘ ensemble was a green sapphire, amethyst and diamond ring, as well as a black diamond bracelet by jeweler Martin Katz. A set of gleaming purple amethyst drop earrings — also by Katz — and a black crystal-covered clutch glamorously finished her outfit with a sleek sparkle.

When it came to footwear, Ricci’s shoes could not be seen. However, the actress likely wore a pair of strappy sandals or pumps that matched her dress’ dark hue. Both silhouettes have been worn frequently by the actress to many red carpet occasions over the years, including the Met Gala and Academy Museum Gala.
