Grace Van Patten Shows Off Her Legs in Prada and Miu Miu Mini Dresses With Classic Pumps at The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox Press Tour

Standing at 5ft 7 (170.2 cm) and wearing a US shoe size 9, Grace Van Patten has been turning heads during the press tour for her new Hulu miniseries, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. Showcasing a series of leg-baring designer looks, the rising star highlighted her statuesque frame and bold style while promoting the highly anticipated drama.

In the show, Van Patten portrays the real-life Amanda Knox, the American college student who went to Italy to study and was falsely convicted of the murder of her roommate, Meredith Kercher. The miniseries follows Knox’s battle to prove her innocence and reclaim her freedom, capturing years of struggle and media frenzy that surrounded her story.

Directed by K.J. Steinberg, The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox was released on Hulu on August 20 and has already received generally positive reviews from critics.

When it comes to fashion, Van Patten is no stranger to bold choices. She often steps out in figure-hugging silhouettes, plunging necklines, and playful details that highlight her daring sense of style. But during the Amanda Knox press tour, she took a different route, trading in her usual dramatic, daring glamour for pared-down mini dresses from Prada and Miu Miu.

These sleek pieces leaned more on simplicity, with clean lines and straightforward silhouettes. They drew attention to Grace’s legs while creating a modern, effortless vibe. Pairing them with black pumps kept the look sharp and polished!

Famous for her roles in Nine Perfect Strangers and Tell Me Lies, Grace Van Patten is also a Hollywood nepo baby, the daughter of acclaimed TV director and two-time Emmy winner Tim Van Patten.

With her pedigree and rising star power, she’s now stepping into the spotlight in her own right. Let’s take a closer look at her latest outfits from The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox press tour.

Grace Van Patten Stuns in a Black Prada Mini Dress and Pointed Pumps

Grace Van Patten brought understated elegance to the New York premiere of The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, held at the New York Historical Society, wearing a look that referenced modern minimalism.

She wore a sleek, strapless black mini dress by Prada, showcasing a column-like shape that may not have flattered her figure but stood out thanks to its interesting details. In contrast to the elegant design, the raw, fringed edges at the neckline and thigh-skimming hem gave it a deconstructed vibe. A tiny bow at the bust added a whimsical, feminine touch to the otherwise simple garment, creating a ruffle effect that offered dimension.

The strapless cut emphasized Grace’s shoulders and collarbones, while the short hem put her legs on display.

While the mini dress could have been a perfect canvas for statement accessories, Grace chose to keep her styling pared back. She eschewed a necklace and instead opted for a statement diamond ear cuff and rings from Cartier.

Her beauty choices reflected the effortless elegance of her outfit. She wore her long blonde hair in loose, natural-looking waves, with one side tucked behind her ear for that relaxed look. Her makeup was fresh and understated, with defined eyes, a radiant complexion, and a soft nude lip.

Grace Van Patten completed her outfit with a pair of classic black pointed-toe pumps, which gave her deconstructed dress a polished finish. These sleek shoes were simple but impactful, adding height while elongating her frame. Their pointed toes kept the style sharp and elegant, while the high heels not only boosted her posture but also added a sense of confidence.

Grace Van Patten Channels Retro Glam in Archival Miu Miu Gold Dress and Mary Janes

Grace Van Patten visited Good Morning America earlier in the day, turning heads in an archival golden satin mini dress from Miu Miu’s Spring 1998 collection. The frock seamlessly blended contemporary elegance with vintage charm, making it a timeless yet trendy choice for the morning interview.

The dress’s off-the-shoulder neckline and softly gathered sleeves lent the look a romantic, vintage allure. Its lustrous satin fabric caught the light with every movement, while the short, straightforward cut leaned into sleek, effortless style. The polished yet playful design was perfectly suited for a daytime appearance!

Grace kept things refined with dangling earrings and a delicate ring, letting the metallic shine complement the warm sheen of her gold dress. She then wore her long blonde hair in a half-up, half-down style, with soft waves cascading down her back and around her shoulders, adding to the feminine charm. Her peachy makeup enhanced her natural glow, highlighting the radiance of her look.

For a touch of sophistication, Grace carried a structured black Prada bag, which perfectly balanced the shine of her golden dress. It complemented the rest of her accessories, including her black stockings and Mary Jane pumps, capturing the spirit of the late 1990s runway while enhancing the retro mood of the look.

The pump’s high heels, pointy toes, and straps across the vamp gave the ensemble a touch of schoolgirl charm while maintaining its polished and stylish appearance.

Amanda Knox Radiates Elegance in Giambattista Valli Floral Gown and Crystal Aquazzura Heels

At just 5′3″ (1.60 m) and wearing a US shoe size 7.5, Amanda Knox stands much shorter than her co-star Grace Van Patten. Still, she made a memorable entrance at the premiere in a romantic Giambattista Valli floral jacquard gown, where the soft pastel hues and intricate textural blooms gave her look a fresh, spring-ready charm.

Its sleeveless design featured a plunging V-neckline framed with white trims and accented with two delicate bows at the front, enhancing the feminine allure while subtly highlighting Amanda’s figure. The dress was a stunning option for the carpet, thanks to its floor-length hem and structured silhouette, which combined elegance and modern freshness.

Keeping the focus on her outfit, Amanda styled her wavy hair in a half-updo and opted for a natural beauty look, complete with rosy cheeks and a soft lip.

Amanda completed the look with Aquazzura’s “Seduction” slingback pumps, crafted from glossy pink PVC and embellished with sparkling crystals along the topline, slingback strap, and vamp.

The see-through material gave the shoes a daring, modern edge—though we couldn’t help but notice the telltale foot fog that comes with PVC heels.

You can shop the Aquazzura “Seduction” slingback pumps in transparent PVC with silver trims at Net-a-Porter for $1,395. Even more color options are also available at luxury retailers like Farfetch and Mytheresa.
