Kate Hudson shone for the “Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon” premiere at the Venice Film Festival.

The “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days” actress hit the red carpet in a bold red dress, courtesy of Valentino‘s Resort 2022 collection. The piece featured a flowing maxi skirt, puffy long sleeves and top made out of sheer fabric, with several lace details on the bodice, sleeves and neckline. Hudson and stylist Sophie Lopez kept her accessories minimal, pairing the bright dress with earrings and a ring from Crivelli.

For footwear, Hudson donned a pair of metallic silver platform sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti. The now sold-out pair featured thick platforms and block heels totaling at least 5 inches in height. They also appeared to include wide toe straps and ankle straps. The shoes brought added flair to Hudson’s look,  giving it a sleek finish while letting the gown take center stage.
