Barbara Palvin looked the epitome of grace and elegance in a series of Armani ensembles while attending the 80th Venice Film Festival last weekend.
Recognized for her role as Antimache in the 2014 American action-adventure fantasy film Hercules, the Hungarian model and actress stands at a height of 5ft 7 ½ (171.5 cm). On several occasions, she’s commented about her height on Twitter.

In 2010, she mentioned being around “174-5 cm,” humorously attributing slight variations to the number of hours she sleeps. Later, in 2013, she again referenced her height as “174/5.8.5”.
While her IMG agency lists her measurements as Bust: 33 inches, Waist: 23 inches, and Hips: 35 inches, some agencies in her early career approximated her height closer to 172 cm. Comparatively, the average height of an American woman is around 5ft 4 inches, making Palvin slightly taller than average.
Her husband Dylan Sprouse, whom she married in July after five years of dating, was noticeably missing from the festivities.
Barbara Palvin’s Dreamy Pastel Mini Dress
For Giorgio Armani’s One Night Only event, the 29-year-old former Victoria’s Secret Angel turned Venice’s ancient Arsenale complex into her very own runway, parading her long legs in a glittery strapless mini from the Italian luxury fashion house’s Fall 2021 collection.
She made a fabulous entrance in the dreamy watercolor pastel dress designed with pink floral crystal accents on the softly pleated draped bodice. The bottom half featured a voluminous tiered ruffled skirt that skimmed her toned thighs.

Allowing her beautiful dress to take center stage, Barbara opted not to wear any jewelry. Instead, she accessorized her stunning look with sparkly crystal stilettos with dainty ankle straps, curved open-toe straps, and thin heels.
Her trusted stylist Marc Eram, whose high-profile clients include Stella Maxwell, Dita Von Teese, CL, and Andie MacDowell, curated her evening party outfit. Eram was also responsible for Palvin’s wedding look in July.
As for her glam, makeup artist Charlotte Prevel complemented Palvin’s pastel dress with pastel blue eyeshadow, winged eyeliner, feathery eyelashes, pink blush, and matching lipstick using Armani Beauty.
The model’s brown hair was fashioned in loose waves, with hair extensions cascading over her breasts by hairstylist Owen Gould.

Barbara Palvin’s Glamorous Take on Black Cutout Dress
The previous day, Barbara Palvin made a showstopping arrival at the Venice Film Festival premiere of Poor Things, a steampunk dark comedy fantasy starring Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo.
While the cast did not attend their film’s premiere due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Palvin stole the show in an exquisite black cutout dress by Giorgio Armani.
The Armani ambassador looked sensational in the flattering form-fitting gown with gleaming black bead trims. It had an asymmetrical halter neckline, a daring slash across the bodice, and a floor-length skirt with a risqué hip-high slit to flaunt her flawless pins.

Marc Eram styled the gorgeous dress with classic black pumps, skipping the jewelry to let the model shine on her own.
Charlotte Prevel applied the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation on Palvin’s face before adding the Fluid Sheer and Glow Blush to her cheeks, resulting in an understated yet flawless beauty look.
She also accentuated her blue eyes with the Eye Tint 12 and Mascara Classico before finishing with Lip Pencil 12 and Lip Maestro 20.
Meanwhile, Owen Gould kept Palvin’s look classic, styling her blonde hair into a ‘60s textured beehive updo with wispy bangs inspired by the 1950s and 1960s sex symbol Brigitte Bardot.
