WEARING: Ralph & Russo Couture dress, Christian Louboutin shoes and bag & Chopard jewelry.
MY VERDICT: Nieves took the red carpet by storm for the Cannes Film Festival premiere of “Jimmy P. (Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian)” in her custom Ralph & Russo gown. The statuqesque beauty posed in a raspberry organza strapless couture gown with an intense rosé gold panel at the left side. I love really dramatic dresses on the red carpet that also flatter the body, and that’s exactly what Nieves presented here. The design was so unique, and she looked stunning in it.
As it turns out, Nieves asked designers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo to create her gown for the gala–and, boy, did they deliver. “It was an absolute pleasure working alongside Nieves. She asked us to create a chic, romantic gown for her return to Cannes that epitomised the glamour and charm of the internationally renowned festival. Nieves exudes a natural elegance and beauty and embodies the essence of the Ralph & Russo woman,” Ralph and Russo explained.
Beautiful and elegant, indeed.
To compliment the gold mirrored detail at her hip, Nieves accessorized with metallics–including a spike-embellished oval minaudière and strappy sandals by Christian Louboutin. She then completed her look with flawless makeup, pretty wavy tresses, and sparkling diamonds from Chopard. This was one of my favorite overall looks from the premiere.
