The Materialists actress, whose film opens in the US on August 14, was once again the star of a special evening—this time at the exclusive Cipriani Wall Street. For the occasion, the daughter of Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson wore a stunning black dress by Ferragamo. The strapless design, priced at around $1,570, features elegant draping as its standout detail. It’s a flowing, floor-length gown made of stretchy viscose knit with an internal boned corset, a statement knot at the neckline, and a sleek column silhouette.

The piece is simple yet elegant, bringing effortless glamour to life. Her accessories did not go unnoticed either. In fact, they were key to taking the look to the next level. First, the high jewelry necklace instantly transformed the outfit, adding a bold touch to the model and actress's style. She paired it with several rings, including one oversized piece in striking Klein blue. To complete the look, she wore the Eva pumps by the same Italian brand, priced at around $860.

Her new red carpet style is a clear statement from the Austin, Texas, native, adding to the many moments that have cemented her as one of the best examples of minimalist elegance. Just look at the double dress moment she had in Cannes. The actress lit up La Croisette, becoming a major source of inspiration for those who favor a more understated approach. First, she wore a simple, refined black midi cocktail dress by Gucci paired with delicate matching sandals. Then she switched things up with a strapless pink dress covered in fringe and sequins, a look that earned her a spot among the most elegant guests at the festival.
