Ana de Armas is continuing her streak of fashion-forward moments at this year’s Venice Film Festival.
On Thursday, the actress attended the world premiere for her upcoming movie “Blonde” wearing a custom hand-pleated pink satin mousseline gown with a plunging neckline by Louis Vuitton, topping the look off with a statement diamond necklace.
De Armas’ look was reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe in one her most iconic looks, in her scene from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes” singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” wearing a hot pink strapless dress with a bow tie at the back and matching sleeves, adorned with diamond jewelry.
