1. Chase Infiniti Shines in Louis Vuitton
Chase Infiniti Payne, a Louis Vuitton ambassador, was spotted arriving at the 41st Santa Barbara International Film Festival, where she received the Virtuosos Award for her outstanding performance as “Willa Ferguson” in the 2025 drama/action thriller “One Battle After Another,” co-starring Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor, and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The 25-year-old American actress looked stunning at the event in a Louis Vuitton pale pink satin off-the-shoulder gown designed by the brand’s creative director Nicolas Ghesquière. The gown featured a structured, corset-style bodice that perfectly constricted her waist and emphasized her shape. The gown also had an asymmetrical midi skirt with a voluminous draped fabric cascading into four magnificent tiers on one side.
Chase Infiniti finished her appearance with pale pink satin pointed-toe shoes and Messika accessories, such as the “Roc” necklace, earrings, bracelet, and ring, which contrasted against her soft gown.
With this ensemble, Chase exuded sophistication and modern elegance.
2. Sydney Sweeney Channels Marilyn Monroe
Sydney Sweeney, a Miu Miu ambassador, also attended the Virtuosos Award ceremony on day 5 of the 41st Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF), where she was honored for her portrayal of “Christy Salters Martin” in the 2025 sports drama “Christy.”
The “The Housemaid” actress wore a classic Ceil Chapman white off-the-shoulder jersey dress that was originally worn by American actress and model Marilyn Monroe on the cover of Life magazine in 1952, photographed by Philippe Halsman. The classic dress featured a three-quarter-sleeve draped bodice accented by a gold brooch at the V-shaped neckline, cinched at the waist to emphasize her refined hourglass silhouette, and an ankle-length skirt with intricate ruching at the upper portion.
Sydney matched her vintage-inspired dress with beige Ferragamo patent leather slingback pumps with a pointed toe and bow accents on the uppers and set on 70mm heels.
Sydney’s homage to the past while embodying contemporary style was truly mesmerizing.
3. Teyana Taylor Makes a Statement with Ashi Studio
Finally, Golden Globe Award-winning actress Teyana Taylor attended the 41st Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival Virtuosos Award event, where she was recognized for her role as “Perfidia Beverly Hills” in “One Battle After Another.”
She wowed the audience in a white sheer turtleneck dress that appeared to be draped in liquid, drawing inspiration from the Ashi Studio Haute Couture Week Spring/Summer 2026 collection, which Saudi Arabian creative director Mohammed Ashi designed and titled “The Beginnings,” and was inspired by Victorian mourning rituals and the 18th century, incorporating themes of restraint and emotion.
The dress featured long sleeves with a frayed hem and a corset-like bodice and was completed with a flowing maxi silhouette designed with a distressed sweeping train, showcasing the perfect balance of elegance and emotion.
Teyana’s fashion choice was an embodiment of strength and creativity, making an unforgettable statement on the red carpet.
