Sigourney Weaver, honoured with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement on the opening night of the Venice Film Festival, made a spectacular entrance that perfectly matched the grandeur of the occasion. With a career that has brought us iconic roles in ‘Alien’, ‘Avatar’, and ‘Gorillas in the Mist’, Sigourney deserved nothing less than a standout look for this momentous celebration. And, as it turns out, Chanel delivered a look that was timeless.
Sigourney’s custom Chanel ensemble for the premiere of ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice’ was nothing short of breathtaking.
Dressed in an off-the-shoulder black jacket fully embroidered with black sequins, tulle, and silk braids, and adorned with jewel-encrusted buttons, paired with a custom black velvet mermaid skirt, the look was inspired by Chanel’s Fall 2019 Haute Couture collection.
Chanel’s choice to revisit and reimagine past collections for such a prestigious occasion worked perfectly in Sigourney’s favour. This look was more than just a beautiful garment; it was a masterclass in how to blend classic style with modern sophistication. By drawing from their rich archives and elevating those elements, Chanel created something that felt fresh.
Sigourney looked radiant, embodying a perfect blend of old-school glamour and contemporary grace. The off-the-shoulder jacket, with its intricate embroidery and luxurious fabrics, was a nod to vintage elegance, while the sleek, flared skirt brought the look firmly into the present.
Adding the finishing touch to this impeccable ensemble were Chanel’s High Jewelry Lion Solaire De Chanel earrings in 18K white gold and diamonds, and a matching Lion Solaire De Chanel ring. These pieces were not merely accessories but essential elements that enhanced the overall look, adding sparkle and a touch of regal flair.
In my opinion, Sigourney has never looked better. Chanel’s thoughtful, elegant design made this honour not just a celebration of Sigourney’s illustrious career but also a fashionable statement.
Bravo to Chanel for making this special occasion as stylish as it was significant.
