Divergent actress Zoe Kravitz donned a Valentino Couture gown, the bottom of the dress trailed the floor behind her gracefully, in a light, swaying fabric, however the top of the dress left little to the imagination in a wrap-around style.

Charlize Theron opted for a citrus-hued strapless number by Dior at the premiere of her new movie Mad Max: Fury Road.
