Carolina Herrera‘s persimmon cotton dress was Jessica’s pick for the Wilde Salome photocall at the 68th Venice Film Festival a couple of days later. Nude Brian Atwood pumps once again finished off the look. The star chose a daring strapless gold lame Vivienne Westwood bustier dress for the UK unveiling of The Debt later that month. She styled the surprising choice with Jimmy Choo Koko platforms and House of Lavande chandelier earrings.
