Kate Beckinsale joined several stars at the amfAR Cannes Gala 2023 yesterday in Cap d’Antibes, France. Familiar faces like Heidi Klum, Ashley Graham and more attended while Queen Latifah hosted the charity event.

The “Underworld” actress donned a pretty purple dress to the event with a shimmery overlay. The dress also featured a layered skirt, a tapered waist and an angular neckline for a futuristic style. Beckinsale added large sparkly stud earrings as well as several rings to accessorize the look.

Although they were not visible, the actress completed her ensemble with a pair of black strappy heels. The shoes featured a thin strap around the ankles as well as the toes for extra support.

When it comes to her formal shoe style, Beckinsale tends to gravitate toward towering pumps and sandals by Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo, Valentino and Stuart Weitzman. She’s a strong force in the fashion world as well, regularly appearing in front rows for brands like Elie Saab, Moschino and Giambattista Valli, among others.
