Kate Bosworth attended this year’s Michael J. Fox Foundation “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s” Benefit wearing a look that captured quiet elegance, but without looking plain.
Bosworth arrived with her husband, actor Justin Long, whom she married in 2023 after her previous marriage to filmmaker Michael Polish. The moment she stepped onto the red carpet, the whole ensemble struck me as clean, refined, and perfectly put together.

Kate Bosworth Stuns in Sculptural, Minimalist Alessandra Rich Gown
Kate’s gown, designed by Alessandra Rich, embodied the designer’s signature combination of vintage romance and modern refinement. The crisp white fabric was structured, creating a clean column silhouette that skimmed her frame. Its boat neckline added a simple, refined line, while the slight puffed shoulders and fitted long sleeves kept the look balanced. I appreciated how the bodice seams shaped her silhouette without detracting from the dress’s simplicity.
It stayed snug through the hips before falling into a straight, floor-length skirt, with a thigh-high slit that not only added allure to the modest silhouette but also movement and a hint of modern edge.
The standout detail was the sculptural ruffled drape, anchored by a crystal brooch at one shoulder. The design introduced a soft, cascading panel that echoed the precision of folded origami, adding shape and dimension to the gown. It brought a subtly regal quality to the look—elevating the minimalist silhouette without disrupting its clean, architectural lines.

Polished Details: Soft Glamour and Understated Accessories
Styled by Katya Giles Netter, Kate kept her accessories minimal to maintain an elegant look. She skipped statement jewelry in favor of simple stud earrings from Briony Raymond, allowing the dress to remain the focus.
Her hair was styled by Jennifer Yepez in soft, brushed-out waves, with one side tucked behind her ear and the other cascading loosely over her shoulder. I especially liked how the softness of her hair contrasted with the gown’s crisp silhouette!
Her makeup, courtesy of Kale Teter, remained delicate, featuring pink tones on her lips and cheeks, complemented by eyeliner and mascara that highlighted her blue and hazel eyes.
She carried a black Rodo clutch with a gold clasp, which added a clean contrast to the all-white dress. The shape was compact and structured, fitting into her understated theme.

Modern Edge: Kate’s Giuseppe Zanotti Crystal-Accented Mules
To finish the outfit, Bosworth chose minimalist black sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti. She wore the “Intriigo Jewelry” mules, which featured slim patent straps across the toes and instep, set on sleek stiletto heels. While their silhouette was simple, a closer look revealed the standout detail.
A gold-toned metal toe accent on the insole, encrusted with rhinestones, added just enough polish to tie the whole look together. I loved how they balanced the gown’s structure with a touch of modern shine. You can get them for $1,095 at Farfetch.
