This dress pinches a teeny bit on her, but dang: She is GORGEOUS, and so is it. The way the floral fabric cuts into the dress a bit on the bodice and reappears on the skirt is unexpected and elegant. She glows.

The back is also lovely.

I did warn you that I'm into this. I still wish it fit her slightly better up top, but honestly, probably worth it.

## Toni Garrn in Alberta Ferretti

This bodice is a bit pinchy TOO. Were Italian tailors still on their summer breaks?

I apologize, but I don't have a name on these feet. Unusual heels always fascinate me -- I keep assuming they must be so strange to walk in, but maybe it's just like anything else and if you're not LOOKING at it you don't notice anything different.

I DO have a name on these feet, with the heels that look like the top of a large silver wine-saver cork.

## Charlotte Rampling

They belong to Charlotte Rampling, and she came ON THEME. I am dying to know if the dress designer recommended a necklace to fit the cutout, or if she/her stylist frantically sourced one.

## with Liliana Cavani

Liliana is an Italian director and writer who at 90, became the film festival's first woman to receive a career achievement award -- something she called out as unacceptable when she accepted it. (Charlotte presented it to her; they worked together in the 70s on "The Night Porter"). She sounds awesome and I love that at 90 she was like, "FORGET IT. Give me my comfy shoes."

## Jane Campion

Jane went with DESIGNER comfy shoes.

## Damien Chazelle and Olivia Hamilton

Damian is on the jury, as is Campion. He looks... fine! He wore a pro-WGA shirt at his press conference, which was a great move.

## Alice Diop

Alice is leading the jury for the Debut Film category. She looks super in this, but I do find myself wishing for a stronger cuff.

## Elisa Visari in Armani

Armani is coming strong at this one.

In some lights, there are nipples present.

## Marta Sierra in Emporio Armani

This is so relaxingly pretty.

She is the alt-universe Anya Taylor-Joy.

This seems too complicated, somehow.

## Caterina Murino

This is perfect. It's 2014 Armani, which [Allison Williams wore to the Golden Globes in 2015](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/experimental-in-2015-the-women-of-girls/infphoto%5F3261697-510x819-2?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). I love the addition of the necklace, and above all else am thrilled that a dress having been worn to a high-profile event doesn't disqualify it from seeing the light of day again.

## Paola Turani

Very sleek.

I hope she got married on the red carpet.
