Actress Michelle Rodriguez, 39, turned heads at the 25th amfAR Gala held at the luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc. She made a statement in a demure red gown that flowed elegantly on the floor. The event featured Perrier-Jouët Belle Époque Champagne and Absolut Elyx signature cocktails for guests. Adding some drama to her ensemble, the Fast and Furious star’s dress boasted a striking train that cascaded far behind her. She kept her accessories to a minimum, wearing only diamond rings on her hands, allowing her dress to be the focal point. Michelle completed her stylish look by tying her hair in a soft chignon and framing her beauty with smokey eye make-up.
Casual: Wow! The American actress looked absolutely stunning in her fancy outfit that revealed just the right amount of cleavage. She’s been rocking the red carpet at various events during the two-week festival, like the premiere of BlacKkKlansman with her BFF Jordan Barrett and the star-studded De Grisogono party on Tuesday night. Michelle Rodriguez has had a long and successful career, starring in Resident Evil, Machete Kills, and James Cameron’s Avatar. However, she says it was her role as Letty Ortiz in the Fast & Furious franchise that really made her a star. “It was my first Hollywood movie,” she recently shared with Daily Beast about her debut in the franchise’s 2001 film.
As Michelle walked into the venue, all eyes were on her stunning outfit that elegantly trailed the floor. She definitely stood out in style.
The actress from Fast and Furious showed off her style skills on the red carpet by incorporating a dramatic train into her attire. The train flowed down her back and extended far behind her, making a bold statement. She shared her excitement about being in the same room as explosive objects and real racers, bringing back fond memories of racing on the streets of Jersey at unusual hours. She even admitted to being so caught up in the moment that she didn’t pay much attention to the script. Her upcoming movie, Alita: Battle Angel, is set to release this December and is a cyberpunk thriller.
Michelle struck a pose alongside her friend Mohammed Al Turki in a photo that could only be described as picture perfect. She was just one of the many celebrities who attended the amfAR Cannes Gala, an annual event that raises funds for AIDS research. Over $210 million has been raised by the non-profit organization through this glamorous party.
The Cannes Film Festival’s most extravagant and star-studded affair has attracted the likes of David Beckham, Sharon Stone, and Leonardo DiCaprio in the past. This year’s black-tie event will feature some of the biggest names in music, including Grace Jones, Jason Derulo, Ellie Goulding, Sting, and Shaggy, to entertain the guests.
Enjoying themselves: The duo seemed to be in a cheerful mood while inside the establishment.
