The actress, producer, and director looked sensational in a form-fitting lace gown from Marchesa‘s Resort 2016 collection, which featured floral appliqués and a plunging neckline.

We love the designer’s velvet and mirrored leather “Lilyth” sandals. These open-toed stilettos feature a rear zip fastening, a brand embossed insole and an ankle strap with a tulle bow.
