Karen Gillan Receives The Artistic Achievement In Independent Film Award During The 27th Philadelphia Film Festival: A Joyous Moment

Karen Gillan received the Artistic Achievement in Independent Film Award for her directorial debut, “The Party’s Just Beginning,” during the 27th Philadelphia Film Festival Closing Night Awards Ceremony on Friday, October 26, in Pennsylvania.

The actress opted for a striking outfit from the Vera Wang Collection Fall 2018. She wore a black power mesh mannequin dress featuring structured cups, armor sleeves, and a French tulle overskirt, embodying plenty of artistic flair.

It’s possible that you’re thinking, “not sheer again.” But this Vera Wang Collection Fall 2018 dress takes sheer to a new level with its black power mesh, structured cups, armor sleeves, and a dramatic French tulle overskirt, making a bold and artistic statement.

The flash of the camera made her skin look washed out, rather than any layers being removed from the dress. This outfit fits her style perfectly.

Red lips added a vampy touch, and Stella Luna ‘Indispensable’ classic pumps completed the look.
