Jessica Alba showed off her take on the sheer trend at the 2024 Discobolo Awards at the Hotel Eden in Rome on Saturday.
The actress looked radiant in the nude Valentino gown, which was dotted with colorful embellishments. Alba accessorized with a black velvet bow around her waist and a handbag from the Italian label. She opted for glamorous Old Hollywood curls and glowy makeup.
Alba was honored at the event, which celebrates excellence in Italian cinema, alongside her co-stars from her upcoming movie “Maserati: The Brothers,” including Michele Morrone.

Her hippie-chic look carried Alessandro Michele‘s signature boho codes, with nods to the ‘70s and ‘80s. Michele became Valentino’s creative director in April.
In the Roman house’s pre-fall 2025 collection review, WWD reported that since his appointment, Michele’s collections have caused quite a stir. “Either one rejoiced seeing his maximalist ways and ‘70s references coming back in full force or hurried to criticize, pointing at a Gucci-fication of the Roman house; there’s no denying that few can spark interest and stir a fashion conversation like Michele. And isn’t that what the industry needs right now?”

The collection featured pussy-bow shirts, long ruffled skirts, blouses with pleated plastrons, eyelet frocks, hippie-chic embroidered vests and fringed suede jackets mingled with bon-ton skirt suits, bouclé sets, baby-doll dresses, matelassé silk boxy jackets and cute little cardigans with floral motifs or bejeweled details.
Alba isn’t the only celebrity that’s a fan of Michele’s work. Earlier this month, Kiera Knightly made an appearance on “Jimmy Fallon” wearing a look from Valentino’s spring 2025 collection.

The Honest Company founder’s outing came on the heels of her appearance at the opening of RH Newport Beach on Nov. 21. There, she put her spin on the monochromatic trend, wearing a chocolate blazer by Amiri as a cape, a tonal corset by Statnaia, a high-waisted pencil skirt, and Khaite’s Simona shoulder bag. Alba accessorized with a gold wraparound Movado watch and a necklace by Sauer.
