The gown made by Gianni Versace in 1980s. The Versace dress is one of her signature style in red carpet. So she seems to show her personality.

In addition, she was criticized a bit about her hair extension because the extension was not matched with her real hair.

I thought she should be careful more about her hairstyle because fashion is not only outfit.

1. Describing outfit

She wears a black one-shoulder dress with a diamond scorpion brooch at her waist.
She ties her hair up.

She wore Versace dress again, and this gown is Maleficent-like.

2. Context (the background information such as when, where, what event)

The event is “Maleficent: Mistress Of Evil” world premiere on September 30th in 2019 in Los Angels. She was a main cast of the film.

3. Meaning of outfit (why did she choose, the meaning)

The meaning is obvious because the character of Maleficent wears black outfit all the times. So she expressed the personality of the character whom she acted.

And also the dress is designed by Atelier Versace. It is also one of her signature style.

I learned she felt and express her  respect and proud for the film.
