Marina Ruy Barbosa struck gold at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival on Sunday. Invited by Chopard, the Brazilian star attended the red carpet premiere of Kevin Costner’s “Horizon: An American Saga” in a princess-like gown that seized the attention of social media.
Styled by her longtime collaborator Pedro Sales, Barbosa wore a shiny, metallic yellow gown from Miss Sohee’s spring 2024 couture collection. The dress featured a corset bodice with a plunging neckline and a dramatic puffball skirt that transitioned into a train. The actress accessorized her look with diamond jewelry from Chopard.
