Sophie Wilde made a striking impression at the Venice Film Festival on Friday evening, attending the premiere of ‘Babygirl’ alongside her co-star Nicole Kidman. As a relative newcomer to the red carpet, the Australian actress is already carving out a niche for herself, and one thing is clear: Sophie Wilde and Loewe are becoming a fashion pairing to watch.
For this event, Sophie opted for a custom Loewe creation—a strapless black silk satin duchess column gown with a striking balloon-draped back. If there’s ever been a visual definition of “quiet drama,” this look is it. The gown, with its minimalist silhouette and unexpected detailing, perfectly encapsulates the kind of understated elegance that turns heads without shouting for attention.
Admittedly, black gowns have dominated this summer, and while they often run the risk of feeling repetitive, Sophie’s choice stands apart, thanks to its unique design elements. The balloon draped back added a sculptural element to the otherwise sleek gown, while the train brought a sense of movement and grandeur. The organza mask was a daring touch that added a layer of mystery and intrigue, elevating the look from simply elegant to unforgettable.
And let’s not overlook her choice of accessories. Sophie completed her ensemble with archival Cartier jewels that lent a timeless quality to her modern look, and Loewe Petal bow sandals that added a whimsical twist to the outfit’s otherwise sophisticated aesthetic. Each piece was chosen with such precision that they all worked together.
At the start of the year, we predicted that Sophie would be one to watch, and her appearance at the Venice Film Festival is further proof that she is living up to that expectation. She may be a new face on the red carpet, but she has already demonstrated a remarkable ability to make bold, confident fashion choices that set her apart.
With her eye for detail and flair for the dramatic, Sophie Wilde is not just a rising star in cinema but also a burgeoning style icon. I, for one, am excited to see what she brings to the red carpet next.
