In March 2013, Roxane Mesquida was spotted attending the Valentino fashion show during Paris Fashion Week.

The then-31-year-old actress and model looked stunning in a red dress and a white coat — both of which we assume to be Valentino.

Her unique red dress featured florets with a ruched effect at the neck and yoke, while her white coat had an asymmetrical bow at the front, a signature design from Valentino.
