After the world restoration premiere of Il caso Mattei, the party moved on to the Hotel Cipriani where the ‘Gucci Award for Women in Cinema’ was held. The award, in its second year, is an initiative by Gucci to recognize the outstanding artistic achievement by a woman in filmmaking. We’ve some pics, courtesy of Gucci – come, have a look 🙂

Brit Marling wore a lovely Gucci one-of-a-kind silk jersey cream long-sleeved gown with plunging neckline and belt embellished with gold and silver crystals. Pale silver suede high-heeled evening sandals and a silver leather box clutch completed her look. Gotta say, I liked this look better than the one at The Iceman premiere.
Thelma Schoonmaker wore a Gucci Pre-Fall 2012 black and red floral printed chiffon blouse with black satin georgette long skirt. Black patent leather high heeled pumps and black satin embroidered clutch completed her look.

Charlotte Casiraghi wore a Gucci one-of-a-kind cobalt blue silk cady sleeveless gown with cutaway neckline and open back detail. She styled her look with black suede and patent high-heeled sandals and black stingray evening clutch. The gown had me with its colour; finally a look of Charlotte that I really, really liked!
