As the 81st Venice International Film Festival drew to a close, actress Abbey Lee ensured the event's final day would be etched in fashion history. The 37-year-old Australian beauty treated the Lido di Venezia to not one, but two jaw-dropping gowns, including a stunning Gucci look.
The Closing Ceremony
Lee's fashion journey at the festival featured two stunning looks. At the closing she graced the red carpet in a black satin sleeveless diamanté gown that exuded old Hollywood glamour. The dress featured a daring high split, showcasing the actress's legs, while a diamante trim around the chest added a touch of sparkle to the sophisticated silhouette. The gown's simple black bejeweled train whispered luxury, while a short diamond necklace and dangly earrings provided just the right amount of glitz.
Closing Ceremony Glamour
At the premiere of Kevin Costner's "Horizon: An American Saga—Chapter Two," Lee appeared in another show-stopping ensemble: a Gucci gown with black lace and pale pink tulle embroidered with crystals. This daring piece perfectly embodied the current elevated boudoir trend, reminiscent of the charming Gucci rendition worn by Dakota Johnson in New York just days ago.
Accessories for the Gucci gown stood out for their simplicity. Silver leather sandals with vertiginous heels complemented the gown's crystal embellishments while elongating her already impressive stature. Lee's beauty look was equally captivating, with her hair styled in two top braids, adding an unexpected edge to the romantic ensemble.
A Supporting Role in Cinematic History
As a cast member of "Horizon: An American Saga," Lee was part of a star-studded ensemble including Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, and Jena Malone. The film, directed by Kevin Costner, is the second chapter in a four-part saga exploring the American West during the late 19th century.
Lee's fashion choices stood out as a breath of fresh air – daring, distinctive, and captivating. It's moments like these that remind us why the Venice Film Festival remains one of the most anticipated events on the fashion calendar, where cinema and couture collide in spectacular fashion.
As the curtain closed on another successful Venice Film Festival, Abbey Lee's Gucci moment will be remembered as a highlight of the event, cementing her status as a red carpet risk-taker and trendsetter to watch.
