The press tour for ‘Gladiator II’ officially kicked off on Wednesday in Sydney, Australia, where Connie Nielsen, reprising her role as Lucilla 25 years after the original, made a memorable appearance on the red carpet at the IMAX Darling Harbour.
The Danish actress looked as radiant as ever in a yellow draped open back dress from Stella McCartney’s Resort 2025 collection—a dress that Daisy Ridley wore on Monday for the SCAD Savannah Film Festival.
On Connie, the dress sits in its intended position, enhancing the fluidity of the design, plus the lighting is making Connie’s outing feel richer in tone and more impactful.
In this dress, Connie looks effortlessly statuesque, the perfect embodiment of timeless elegance.
What’s impressive is how the subtlety of seam and ruching placement transforms the overall effect of this dress. Both Connie and Daisy wore it well, but Connie’s take highlights the importance of positioning and the power of grooming.
She completed the look with Cartier jewels and Gianvito Rossi PVC peep-toe sandals.
