To the red carpet premiere screening of Once Upon A Time In Hollywood held during the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, she donned a bridal-inspired Rami Kadi Spring 2019 Couture ball gown styled with a diamond necklace and Casadei shoes.

After her breakout role as a troubled boxer in the independent film Girlfight (2000), she was paid big bucks for her performances in big-budget blockbusters like The Fast and the Furious, Resident Evil, and S.W.A.T.

Approached by TMZ at Los Angeles International Airport in May 2016, the “Fast & Furious” actress suggested her net worth would be a lot higher if she were a man.

“It’s like being born a slave. You know it’s like, ‘Oh damn. Darn my luck. I wish I was born somewhere else or maybe some other way,’” the actress explained.

“But it is what it is.” Rodriguez acknowledged, “I get paid a lot less than my colleagues.” However, she shrugged off the difference in pay. “That’s the world we live in, it’s a patriarchal society,” Rodriguez said.

At the 2019 EE British Academy Film Awards, Michelle Rodriguez had a wardrobe malfunction and almost suffered a nip slip.

Whoops. Looks like Michelle Rodriguez has brought her Fast & Furious character Letty into reality. In July 2015, the paparazzi caught up with the then 36-year-old as she was leaving Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood with a brand-spanking-new Mercedes ride.

Not to worry, folks, the actress stated that her trusty eco-friendly Prius was just getting fixed after she “ruined” it coming out of her house and that the Mercedes was just a rental.

Michelle was all smiles as she regaled the paparazzi of her car tales, and did not seem to have sustained injuries from the accident. In fact, the actress was spotted a day later looking unrecognizable in a Parisienne chic look at the Versace show held during the Paris Fashion Week.

The boyish star traded in her flats for a pair of gorgeous Anthony Vaccarello heels, which she wore with a black buttondown and trousers.

It’s always interesting to see Michelle Rodriguez around fashion weeks because she rarely wears heels. But when she does: va-va-voom.
