Known for her strong presence in action films, Michelle Rodriguez proved once again that she is not one to shy away from making a statement. The 37-year-old actress turned heads at the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation Gala in St Tropez, France, sporting a daring sheer black dress adorned with striking black flowers. Accompanied by model Jessica Stam, who also opted for a revealing ensemble, the two women showcased their confidence and style in Francesco Scognamiglio gowns that were anything but subtle. Michelle’s dress, priced at $2,600 (£1,700), and Jessica’s at $3,000 (£1,900), left little to the imagination as they made a grand entrance at the star-studded event.
Looking fabulous: Michelle Rodriguez wowed in a stunning sheer dress as she made her way to a Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation event in St Tropez. The see-through gown, with long sleeves, left little to the imagination, highlighting the Fast and Furious actress’s toned legs and waist. Keeping it modest, Michelle paired the revealing dress with a bandeau top and high-waisted pants. Meanwhile, Jessica decided to go all out in a white ensemble, ditching a bra and opting for black pants under her dress, flaunting her perky behind and stealing the spotlight from Michelle.
Yin and Yang: Jessica chose a white variation of the bold Francesco Scognamiglio dress, while Michelle went for a $2,600 (£1,700) version adorned with black leather embroidery.
Taking the spotlight: The attention was completely drawn to the two women in their see-through tulle gowns, flaunting their black lingerie underneath.
Outshined: Michelle played it safe in a bandeau top and high-waisted pants, while the blond stunner chose to go bold in a skimpy pair of shorts without a bra.
Impressive physique on display: The beloved star from Fast & Furious flaunted her toned figure in the elegant dress while stepping off a boat alongside Nina Dobrev, from the popular show Vampire Diaries. Rodriguez, known for her down-to-earth attitude, opted to go barefoot, carrying her heels and a stylish gold clutch in one hand.
Sporting a ponytail with bangs, the actress maintained a focused expression as she headed towards the star-studded event. Earlier in the day, the Girlfight actress was seen unwinding with her friends on a yacht, casually puffing on a vaporizer pen as she gracefully walked down the pier.
Taking a risk: Model Jessica confidently flaunted her shapely backside in a see-through gown created by Italian fashion designer Francesco Scognamiglio, who is a popular choice among celebrities like Lindsay Lohan.
Head-turner: The 29-year-old beauty’s more expensive variation of the gown featured intricate white leaf embroidery.
Attracting attention in a sea of people: The striking blonde, known for her work with CoverGirl and Nina Ricci, was easily noticeable in her bold designer gown.
Barefoot: Rodriguez stepped onto the red carpet at the glamorous gala accompanied by Nina Dobrev, the former Vampire Diaries actress, who looked absolutely stunning in a beautiful cream and gold dress. Dobrev, who had been enjoying some jet skiing and yacht time with friends in St. Tropez, rocked the outfit with crystal earrings and nude heels.
Both Rodriguez and Dobrev were among the celebrities who graced the second annual DiCaprio Foundation charity gala, which managed to raise an impressive £40 million for environmental causes. Recently, DiCaprio himself announced that his foundation would be giving $15 million in grants to various environmental groups.
Among the attendees was Russian model Irina Shayk, who turned heads in a striking beige gown featuring daring cut-outs and a flowing skirt.
Stealthy smoke: The actress from Girlfight, seen having fun on a yacht with her friends, discreetly took hits from a vape pen while walking along the pier.
The girls are on their way: Michelle strolled down the boardwalk barefoot, holding her heels in hand.
Celebrities were spotted at DiCaprio’s gala as the stars aligned for Irina Shayk and Nina Dobrev. A year ago, Rodriguez had a brief romance with Zac Efron, exploring European destinations and embracing their short-lived connection. The actress has also been in a relationship with supermodel Cara Delevingne and has openly discussed her interest in both men and women. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly back in October 2013, she expressed her curiosity and willingness to explore relationships with both genders, stating, “I do as I please. I am too darn curious to not try when I have the opportunity. Men are fascinating. So are women.”
Dark beauty: The actress from LOST exuded a dangerously seductive aura in her embellished leather gown.
Bold choice: On the other hand, Jessica maintained her elegance by covering up with a circular design on the chest area.
Looking absolutely stunning: The gorgeous blonde showed off her flawlessly flat belly and well-toned legs in the elegant gown.
