The celebrated actress, known for her eccentric and timeless fashion sense, turned heads in a tiered black tulle gown adorned with red and green floral embroidery. She accessorized the look with a black tulle handbag, round sunglasses, and wore her hair in a tousled updo, finishing the look with chunky black shoes.
Nell, her daughter with ex-partner and filmmaker Tim Burton, offered a vibrant contrast in a pink gown detailed with hearts and floral embellishments. She carried a beaded white pearl handbag and wore pearlescent pink lace-up sneaker heels, echoing her mother’s flair for unconventional fashion while embracing a youthful twist.
