Sofia Carson leaned into ethereal drama—her sheer, crystal-dusted gown whispering old Hollywood with a modern chill—at Venice’s most cinematic red carpet of the season.
There’s a moment every season when a red carpet look doesn’t just land—it lingers. At the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, Sofia Carson delivered one such moment during the premiere of Frankenstein, stepping onto the Lido in a gown that felt like a ghost of glamour past, reinterpreted for the present.
The dress, a floor-length nude illusion piece with long sleeves and a high neckline, was a study in restraint and radiance. Its sheer overlay, delicately embroidered with evenly spaced embellishments, caught the light like dew on silk. The silhouette was classic—fitted through the bodice, then gently flaring into a soft skirt that moved with cinematic grace. Though the designer remains unconfirmed at press time, the craftsmanship spoke to couture-level precision.
Accessories were minimal, almost reverent. No visible jewelry competed with the texture of the gown, allowing the fabric’s quiet shimmer to take center stage. Her shoes were hidden beneath the hem, but the overall styling suggested a preference for tonal harmony over contrast.
