Tuesday evening, the actress attended the Variety and Hotel Danieli inaugural cocktail party wearing a monochromatic ballerina-like ensemble, also styled by Deon and McDonald. Her outfit by Rodarte included a deconstructed tulle blazer and sheer skirt from the fashion house’s fall 2022 ready-to-wear collection.
Thompson’s footwear continued the noir theme as she wore mid-heels with a bow tie arrangement on its vamp. Earlier in the day, Thompson wore a sheer Victoria Beckham dress with gold motifs overlaying a black bralette and pants, Anny Nord slingback pumps in the same hue, a multitoned Vivienne Westwood Trader Mini Shopper Bag and Lapima frames in black. Deon and McDonald also styled her airport arrival look.
