Monica Bellucci admitted that her favorite color is black, because it is universal and good for the figure. But the Italian diva has enough exits in red dresses to judge her indifference to this color, which suits her very much. Introducing 11 red dresses by Monica Bellucci, in which she has appeared in the world in the last 15 years. At the same time, you can trace the evolution of her secular style from 42 to 55 years.
1. Smooth bustier dress
Where and When: Rome Film Festival November 2006
One of the simplest, most elegant and stunning looks of Bellucci took place at the 2006 Rome Festival. Monica was also present at the event with her husband Vincent Cassel, presenting the costume film "I and Napoleon", in which she played one of the main roles. Although the film went unnoticed, the adorable image of the actress remained in the memory of her fans. Simplicity beautifies, and such natural beauty doesn't need a lot of decorations.
2. Silk dress with open neckline
Where and When: Cannes Film Festival in May 2009
In Cannes, Bellucci, together with Sophie Marceau, presented the thriller Don't Look Back, where she and the French actress played each other's alter ego. To support the theme of the film, both Bellucci and Marceau came in red dresses. Marceau chose a bustier model, while Monica opted for a flowing silk dress with an open neckline.
3. Knee-length lace dress
Where and when: Premiere of the film "Love in the square" in 2013
The dress made of red lace with long sleeves was not accepted with enthusiasm by everyone. Many motivated this by the fact that the actress is at that age and physical shape when it is no longer necessary to bare her legs and show not the most slender calves. But Monica does what she and her stylists want. Moreover, this is a dress by Dolce & Gabbana, longtime friends of the actress and the brand, whose face she has been for many years.
4. Polka dot midi dress
Where and When: Cannes Film Festival in May 2014
When polka dots just started to come into fashion, many stars dared to wear outfits with this print for social events. Bellucci also joined the theme, but some again accepted this image without enthusiasm, calling it more suitable for a younger woman than fifty.
5. Lace dress with cape
Where and when: Ball of the Costume Institute Met Gala in May 2014
In 2014, coats and dresses with capes-caps came into fashion, and Monica did not miss the opportunity to demonstrate herself in this particular image. The all red lace outfit was really hard to ignore on the red carpet.
6. Long Sleeve Knee Length Plain Dress
Where and when: Premiere of the film "Spectrum" in February 2015
Bellucci became a Bond girl when she was already 50. Presenting the picture, the actress most often adhered to elegant respectable images. Like this one, in a minimalist red dress with 3/4 sleeves and knee length. Simple and tasteful.
7. Lace dress with pleated skirt
Where and When: Le Bal Surréaliste Dior (January 2018)
In 2018, 53-year-old Bellucci appeared in a new image with a bob haircut. Her dresses have also become older and less seductive. This dress is hardly a good choice. It includes too many details (guipure, transparency, pleating, neckline, tight-fitting), sits tightly on the figure and looks out of place on Monica, making her look fuller.
8. Dress with soft flounces
Where and when: Premiere of the opera La Traviata in Valencia in February 2017
For the premiere of La Traviata in Spain, Monica chose a dress in her style - with an open neckline and a fairly simple cut. It was decorated with soft flounces and pleating on the skirt. The image turned out to be gentle, feminine and did not cause dissonance with the age of the actress.
9. Smooth dress with train and long translucent sleeves
When and Where: Closing of the Beijing Film Festival 2017
For the closing ceremony of the Beijing Film Festival, the actress decided to wear a dress without designer sophistication with an emphasis on color, but with extremely long sleeves and a train. Alas, the dress looked frankly cheap due to the peculiarity of the fabric in combination with the cut. Despite the fact that it was a Valentino outfit, it seemed that it was made from inexpensive fabric and extremely sloppy.
10. Sheath dress with lurex and pointed shoulders
Where and when: Lumières Prize in Paris in February 2018
For the Lumière Awards in Paris, Bellucci chose a dress in a style she had never used before. The model of the outfit seems to have been brought from the 80s, which is eloquently indicated by the lurex, drapery and stiff shoulders. The star, who loves the neckline, seems to be wearing an outfit for the first time that dully covered this area. And in vain - such an image is not suitable for a beautiful Italian woman and makes her fuller due to tight-fitting and excessive shine.
11. Lace dress with ruffles and long train
Where and When: Venice Film Festival 2019
At this festival, the actress wore a dress that had little association with her in the past. She used to wear more restrained lace and a minimalist cut. It was a dress that combined the transparency of lace, which accentuated a black bodysuit, a long train and fluffy little flounces along the entire length. The image came out bold, controversial, but vivid and memorable.
