Kathryn Newton Seduces the Red Carpet in Fiery Velvet, Flaunting Every Curve at ‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ Premiere
Kathryn Newton commanded the red carpet at the Rome premiere of her latest thriller, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come, held at Casina Valadier on March 23. The 29-year-old actress embraced a bold, head-to-toe red look that showcased her curves and confident presence.
She wore the Pualo dress from The New Arrivals, a red velvet gown with a fitted bodice and slightly scooped neckline. The rich velvet added depth to the vibrant color, while the sleek silhouette kept the focus on the striking crimson tone.
Newton paired the dress with matching red hosiery and Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps. Her accessories followed the same palette, including a red “Sierra” clutch by Ahikoza and delicate diamond rings from Grown Brilliance. A red lip and softly glamorous makeup completed the ensemble.
