A little known K-pop CEO stole the limelight at the 79th Venice International Film Festival on September 2.

South Korean Yulee Choi may not be a celebrity, but the dress she wore for her appearance at the glamorous event outshone the highly crafted looks of major stars such as festival jury president Julianne Moore and actress Cate Blanchett. They also looked stunning in Valentino and Schiaparelli, respectively.

Choi chose a gown from Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda, the haute couture arm of the Italian fashion house, to attend the premiere of Athena, a French film directed by Romain Gavras, who has previously directed music videos for musicians like Kanye West.

Made of tulle and hand embroidered with crystals, the ethereal dress debuted last year at the label’s Alta Moda catwalk show in Venice, a star-studded event attended by celebrities such as Jennifer Lopez and Helen Mirren.

Dolce & Gabbana famously commands some of the highest prices in the industry for its haute couture creations, which are custom made for the wearer and can take months to craft.
