Nina Dobrev wears a bridal-inspired sheer look at Taormina Film Festival
Nina Dobrev turned Taormina into a bridal mood board in a sheer One/Of two-piece, a $12,980 signal that wedding dressing is drifting toward separates.
Nina Dobrev did not show up to Taormina looking like she had any interest in a standard white gown. For the world premiere of The Get Out at the 72nd Taormina Film Festival, she wore a sheer, feathered two-piece from One/Of by Patricia Voto, and the effect was bridal without being predictable.
The look was all tension and texture. The Gregory Corset came in cream floral jacquard, scattered with muted blue, yellow, green and pink blooms, then cut with a black back panel that gave the piece a sharper edge than the usual soft-focus wedding bodice. The Portoff Skirt pushed it further into fantasy territory, moving from structure into sheer tulle and finishing with feathery pink tassels and crystal embellishment. Dobrev kept the styling clean, with iridescent strappy sandals, diamond jewelry, center-parted waves and soft makeup, which let the clothes do the talking.
That is the point. One/Of by Patricia Voto is a New York City label built on reclaimed elements, limited-volume production and a made-to-order, demi-bespoke model, and Dobrev’s look makes that positioning feel especially relevant. The Gregory Corset and Portoff Skirt have also been reported at $6,390 and $6,590, respectively, for a combined $12,980. That price puts the outfit squarely in luxury occasionwear territory, but the real takeaway is bigger: bridal-adjacent dressing is no longer confined to the aisle. It is migrating into rehearsal dinners, after-parties and red-carpet moments where a woman wants the romance of wedding clothes without the literal white dress.
Taormina is exactly the kind of stage that can move that conversation forward. The festival, founded in 1955 and staged at the Teatro Antico di Taormina in Sicily, has long pulled major names from Marlene Dietrich and Elizabeth Taylor to Audrey Hepburn, Richard Burton and Tom Cruise. The 72nd edition ran from June 10 to 14, 2026, with the program presented in Rome on June 4, and Dobrev’s appearance fit the festival’s old-Hollywood glamour while still feeling current. This is the market signal bridal designers and retailers should watch: the next wedding look may be a corset and a sheer skirt, not a gown at all.
