In January 2017, Kirsten Dunst and the entire cast of her film ‘Hidden Figures’ attended the 2017 Palm Springs International Film Festival at the Palm Springs Convention Center in Palm Springs, California.

The American biographical comedy-drama film is based on Margot Lee Shetterly’s nonfiction book of the same name. Kirsten Dunst plays Vivian Mitchell, a fictional supervisor at NASA who represents the systemic racial and gender biases faced by African-American women mathematicians, known as “human computers,” during the early 1960s.

At 34, the American actress donned a custom silver beaded gown from Ralph & Russo featuring half sleeves and a v-neckline. She accessorized with Chopard jewelry and an elegant pair of satin sandals.

Her shoes were elegant yet understated, ensuring they didn’t distract from the intricate detailing of the dress. How do you like her full-length blue-gray gown?
