But aside from walking the red carpet with her castmates, Alicia also attended the Filming Italy Venice Award, where she was honored with the Filming Italy International Award.

Alicia turned to Christian Siriano for the event, choosing a dress that balanced youthful charm and refined sophistication. Siriano, currently a judge on Project Runway Season 21, is known for his daring, theatrical gowns and dedication to diversity and body positivity.
Silverstone’s ensemble reflected that perfectly. Instead of leaning into old Hollywood glamour, like many attendees, she opted for something fresher and more playful, yet still glamorous.
Playful Christian Siriano LBD with 3D Floral Drama
Alicia Silverstone wore a strapless black mini dress that balanced simplicity and statement-making detail. The top half of the dress was clean and classic, with a fitted bodice that skimmed her figure and framed her decolletage and shoulders beautifully. It was sleek without being too tight, enhancing her natural shape in a way that felt polished and flattering.
The real standout feature, though, was the skirt. Cut above Alicia’s knees, it exploded into a cascade of voluminous 3D floral appliques. Each ruffled flower created texture and movement, adding visual drama while maintaining an air of sophistication. This contrast between the understated bodice and the textured skirt perfectly reflected Siriano’s knack for combining elegance with bold, theatrical touches.

Delicate Jewels and Romantic Beauty Accents
Silverstone kept her jewelry minimal yet elegant, complementing her dress. She wore a Kevork Khatcherian diamond choker wrapped closely around her neck, adding a subtle but luxurious shine. A Kallati Jewelry tennis bracelet on her wrist brought timeless elegance, while a statement diamond ring offered another layer of glamour and sophistication. Silverstone also wore Simone Jewels silver drop earrings, framing her face with a delicate glimmer.
Alicia had a delicate yet seductive beauty look. She styled her blonde hair in loose, side-swept waves, giving her appearance an effortlessly glamorous finish. Her emerald green eyes popped with smoky eyeshadow and dark eyeliner, while a hint of blush and a pale pink lipstick completed her youthful makeup. Even her nails matched, painted in a similar pink shade for a cohesive finish.

Whimsical Betsey Johnson “Hart” Pumps in Clear PVC
Alicia rounded out her ensemble with equally feminine pumps that stood out on their own. Crafted from synthetic fabric and clear PVC, these $129 Betsey Johnson “Hart” pumps were adorned with rhinestone-encrusted black bows at the pointed toes, adding contrast and sparkle against the clear base.
The design also featured glittering black ankle straps with buckle closures. At the same time, the slender 3.75-inch heels gave Alicia Silverstone—who stands 5ft 5 (165.1 cm) tall and wears a U.S. shoe size 8.5—a graceful boost that elongated her legs and balanced the volume of the floral skirt.
Even with the clear PVC showing a slight fog from the warm red carpet, these feminine, statement-making pumps still brought a whimsical twist to her sleek black dress, rounding out the look with charm and glamour.

While PVC heels can look sleek, modern, and glamorous, they also come with one very common drawback that even celebrities can’t avoid—sweaty, clammy feet. This can sometimes cause foggy shoe panels, discomfort, and even odor.

Ethereal White Prada Gown with Silver Platforms
Alicia Silverstone took a regal, elegant turn on the red carpet at the Venice International Film Festival premiere of Bugonia, starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and Aidan Delbis, wearing a white Prada gown that exuded grace and maturity.
The gown’s airy, ethereal appearance perfectly balanced movement and modesty. It was designed with a high neckline and a pussy-bow detail that added a touch of vintage femininity. The puffed shoulders lent a subtle sense of drama, cascading into elegant bishop-style long sleeves.
The dress was breezy, yet it was subtly fitted around the waist, giving Alicia a flattering shape. The fabric then flowed to the ground in sweeping folds, creating a weightless silhouette that seemed to move with fluid elegance as she walked.

Crivelli Diamonds & Metallic Sandals: A Modern Twist
Silverstone elevated her look with exquisite Crivelli diamonds. She wore pear-cut teardrop earrings, along with stacks of diamond bangles on her wrists and a statement yellow diamond ring.
Completing the ensemble were gleaming silver platform sandals that peeked out beneath the gown’s hem, adding a contemporary twist to Alicia’s otherwise demure appearance. The metallic finish and bold platform shape offered a playful modern contrast to the gown’s modest, flowing silhouette.
Alicia isn’t the only star embracing the statement power of metallic footwear. Silver platform sandals, in particular, have become a go-to red-carpet choice for many celebrities, adding height, shine, and modern drama to their looks.
