Nima Benati Inspired White Lace Off-the-Shoulder Mermaid Gown Venice Film Festival 2017
Make a stunning entrance in this Nima Benati inspired white lace mermaid gown, as worn at the 2017 Venice Film Festival. Crafted from intricate floral lace overlay atop a soft satin lining, the dress features a romantic off-the-shoulder neckline that gracefully frames the collarbones and drapes into delicate scalloped sleeves. The fitted bodice includes subtle boning for structure, while a concealed back zipper ensures a seamless, tailored fit.
The gown hugs the natural waist and hips before flaring dramatically into a classic mermaid silhouette just below the knees. From there, the lace-covered skirt cascades into a sweeping floor-length train, creating a flattering hourglass profile that commands attention on any red carpet. The pristine white hue and all-over lace detailing combine to evoke timeless elegance and modern sophistication.
