But guess what? Ribbons and rosettes are precisely what the actress wore when attending the 37th Deauville American Film Festival in France in September 2011.

With such an oversized detail at her waist, you might expect her to tone down the accessories. However, she did the opposite—finishing the look with a rosette and bow-embellished clutch paired with tri-tone snake print heels, a surprisingly perfect combination!

Kate’s purse is also from Valentino. The pumps are unavailable online, but you can find the closed-toe version at Bergdorf Goodman—a style with a pointed toe and no platform.
