The Swedish model wore a stunning dress by Viktor & Rolf that turned heads on the red carpet. The strapless bodice was adorned with two elegant bows cinched around the waist, and the full-layered netted skirt gracefully pooled on the floor, creating a mesmerizing silhouette as she walked.

The dazzling silver necklace from Messika added a touch of sparkle to her look, leaving a lasting impression on fashion enthusiasts and critics alike.

At the Madrid premiere of her film No Hard Feelings, Jennifer Lawrence wore a beige midi dress designed by Loewe that played tricks on the eyes. The dress, which is part of the brand’s Fall/Winter 2023 womenswear collection, showcased a blend of 2D and 3D effects, captivating onlookers with its visual intrigue. The strapless dress created a puzzling illusion: when viewed from the front, it appeared completely flat, resembling a 2D image.

However, when Lawrence turned sideways, the dress revealed its true 3D nature, creating a noticeable gap between the fabric and her body. This unique design challenges conventional perceptions of fashion and demonstrates Lawrence’s penchant for avant-garde style. She paired the dress with black stilettos and emerald-colored earrings, maintaining a minimalist yet captivating aesthetic, making her a standout presence on the red carpet.

11. Pamela Anderson

These sculptural heels, a true fusion of art and fashion, are constructed from a clear perspex wedge, creating an illusion that challenges the boundaries of conventional design. What makes these shoes truly extraordinary is the placement of a striking red stiletto heel, deliberately positioned to give the illusion of being broken. The deliberate dissonance between the elegant red heel and the transparent wedge creates a captivating visual contrast, making these shoes a genuine work of art.
