Longoria’s gown, from Alberta Ferretti’s fall 2024 collection, featured a turtleneck design adorned with gradient silver sequins of various sizes. The sheer fabric revealed a black under-layer, adding contrast to the ensemble. The gown extended to the floor, maintaining a straightforward silhouette.
She paired the gown with open-toe heels by Le Silla, chosen for their clean and contemporary style. Her choice of footwear provided a practical option for the evening. Longoria’s look was completed with minimalist Bulgari jewelry.

The Venice AmfAR Gala is one of the most anticipated events during the Venice International Film Festival, known for drawing a blend of film stars, fashion icons and philanthropists. The event, hosted by Kate Beckinsale, is a fundraiser for AIDS research, and it showcases high-profile performances and honors significant contributions to the arts and humanitarian efforts. This year, Kelly Rowland performed at the event, adding to its prestige. Additionally, actors Richard Gere and Antonio Banderas, who both have films showing at the festival, received honorary awards, further highlighting the gala’s role in celebrating both cinematic achievements and philanthropic endeavors.
Last week the actress showed her patriotic pride embracing the blue wave in Victoria Beckham for the final day of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The actress wore a body-con dress featuring a V neckline mirrored by a V-shaped drop waist seam, pleating details and draped short sleeves. Longoria’s dress was from Victoria Beckham’s fall 2024 collection, which, as WWD previously reported, was “a more elevated collection from the designer with real standouts, particularly in the outerwear and knitwear departments.”
