The stunning dress, which featured a corset-style bust, was encrusted with diamonds all over and featured a long sheer purple train.
The beauty also put on a very leggy display on the red carpet as she had her tanned and toned pins on full display.

Noticeably absent from the occasion was Bradley Cooper, who stars as composer Leonard Bernstein in the film, as much of Hollywood stays away from the red carpet due to ongoing strike action by the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.
The Venice Film Festival kicked off on Wednesday, and usually sees some of Hollywood’s biggest stars grace the red carpet to promote their work.
However, this year only a handful of independent productions have permission to be promoted by their stars, with Venice confirming on Monday that Adam Driver and Jessica Chastain will still make appearances at the festival.
Since July 17, Hollywood has ground to a halt as members of the SAG-AFTRA union joined the Writers Guild Of America in going on strike over growing concerns of the use of artificial intelligence and streaming residuals.
According to Variety, a select list of films premiering at Venice have obtained SAG-AFTRA interim waivers since they are independent productions that have not been produced by AMPTP members.
The ongoing SAG-AFTRA Strike, which enters its 45th day of protests, have seen many well-known actors showing solidarity with striking actors by doing one (or several) of the following actions: issuing statements of support of the strikes; joining picket lines in LA, New York City; and donating/handing out water bottles and/or food to the picketers.
Among the well-known names who took part in the picket lines in either Los Angeles or New York City include Jason Sudeikis, Susan Sarandon, Vanessa Hudgens, Mandy Moore, Logan Lerman, America Ferrera, and Josh Gad, to name a few.
The U.K. actors union Equity held rallies in London and Manchester on July 21 in support of SAG-AFTRA Strike. Brian Cox, Jim Carter, Hayley Atwell, David Oyelowo, and Oscar-nominated actress Imelda Staunton, were in attendance.
While there has been little movement in talks between the AMPTP and SAG-AFTRA, discussions with the WGA appear to have reached a stalemate.
The sides have not met since August 18 when the AMPTP rejected a counter-offer from the WGA, and since then there’s been no move to resume talks.
SAG-AFTRA told members in an email on Sunday that the negotiating committee is ready to return to the table ‘at a moment’s notice,’ but so far there has been little progress.
The Venice Film Festival: Everything you need to know
The Venice International Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world, with its 80th edition opening on Wednesday.
Here is everything you need to know…
WHEN IS THE VENICE FESTIVAL?
The festival opens on Aug. 30 with the premiere of Italian World War Two film Comandante, directed by Edoardo De Angelis. The event runs until Sept. 9 and closes with a Spanish-language Netflix drama ‘Society of the Snow’.
WHERE IS IT BEING HELD?
The Festival takes place on the Venice Lido – the so-called beach of Venice — a thin barrier island in the Venetian Lagoon, which is a short boat trip from the main city of Venice. Unlike Venice itself, cars have access to the Lido.
WHY IS IT SO CLOSELY WATCHED?
The festival marks the start of the awards season and regularly throws up big favourites for the Oscars. Eight of the past 11 best director awards at the Oscars went to films that debuted at Venice.
Movie stars and directors traditionally enjoy travelling to the lagoon city to launch their films.
However, this year will offer a bit less sparkle than usual as the Hollywood actors’ strike will prevent many stars from promoting their work.
WHICH MOVIES HAVE BEEN SELECTED FOR THE FESTIVAL?
There are several categories making up the official selection of films shown, the top being those competing for the coveted Golden Lion award.
