Go for Gothic glamour like Dakota in a dress by Valentino
Now THAT is how you arrive at the Venice Film Festival in style. Wearing a dreamy designer dress, Johnny Depp by your side... Dakota Johnson, we salute you!
The likes of Laura Bailey, Alessandra Ambrosio, Elizabeth Banks and Diane Kruger have all been spotted rocking hot off the catwalk creations at the festival, so Black Mass star Dakota had some serious competition. But she knocked our socks off in this dress!
It's by Valentino and we love the combination of the relatively demure high neck, fluted sleeves and midi length, mixed with the subtle flashes of flesh thanks to the embroidered eyelets. When styled with simple T-strap heels and straight hair, we've fallen head over heels in love with this leading lady look.
Sadly it's from the Resort 2016 collection so isn't yet available to buy, but click the link (right) to shop the current Ready-To-Wear line if you're feeling flush.
Or go for Valentino vibes in one of the budget-friendly frocks we've got lined up for you in the edit below. Self-Portrait's version is top of our list!
