Sequins are a girl’s best friend.
Ana de Armas couldn’t be missed at the Los Angeles premiere of her upcoming Marilyn Monroe movie, “Blonde,” on Tuesday, dressed in a silver sequined Louis Vuitton halter gown.
The neckline might’ve been a nod to Monroe, who wore an iconic white halter dress in 1955’s “The Seven Year Itch.”
De Armas, 34, previously channeled the late Hollywood icon in another plunging Louis Vuitton look — a pink pleated gown — at the Venice Film Festival premiere of the flick last week.
Based on Joyce Carol Oates’ bestselling book by the same name, Netflix’s “Blonde” was given a controversial NC-17 rating and hits the streaming service September 28.
In the movie, de Armas slips into spot-on recreations of some of Monroe’s most memorable outfits, along with a series of platinum wigs (which required her to wear a bald cap underneath).
And the stars appeared to have aligned in more ways than one, as the “Knives Out” actress believes Monroe was present on set.
“I think she was happy. She would also throw things off the wall sometimes and get mad if she didn’t like something,” De Armas told reporters at the Venice Film Festival. “Maybe this sounds very mystical, but it is true. We all felt it.”
She added, “I truly believe that she was very close to us. She was with us.”
The film’s director, Andrew Dominik, agreed that he felt her presence, telling reporters, “It definitely took on elements of being like a seance.”
Perhaps Marilyn’s spirit was on Tuesday’s carpet, too.
