Dave Bautista embraces excess in Gucci suit and pearl necklace at TIFF

Dave Bautista made a stunning arrival when he walked the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival on Friday for his latest film, “The Last Showgirl.” The fighter-turned-actor, popularly known for his role as Drax the Destroyer in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’, has embraced a figure to match thanks to his role as Vegas show producer Eddie in the Pamela Anderson film. film.

Bautista wore the Gucci GG Cotton Viscose suit and formal pants in black as he walked the red carpet. Featuring a cotton and viscose blend, the suit, which Bautista previously donned in July during an appearance on “Watch What Happens Live,” features subtle shimmer and an all-over logo. She finished the look with a dark gray boat neck shirt under the jacket and shiny black dress shoes.

He combined the breathable suit with lots of accessories. She wore Gucci sunglasses and wore four strings of pearls around her neck. The strands also featured sections of three diamonds, giving a sparkling touch to the pearly sheen.

He also wore a silver wristwatch and a diamond-encrusted gold bracelet from Jason of Beverly Hills, with whom Bautista has previously worked. He layered this gold bracelet with an identical one in silver.

Bautista has favored Gucci for some time, especially the brand’s patterned jackets. He wore a cream-colored version to the premiere of “Dune: Part Two” in February. On “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” last month, she wore the Cruise 2024 Gucci Horsebit wool and silk jacquard jacket in burgundy. As he promoted both “The Last Showgirl” and “The Killer’s Game” throughout the summer, he was spotted wearing the brand’s cotton jacquard metallic cardigan.

Bautista’s costars Pamela Anderson, Kiernan Shipka and Brenda Song also opted for black ensembles. Anderson deconstructed the Rat Pack’s Sin City glamor in a black suit with a feminine twist, complete with stiletto heels.

Jamie Lee Curtis added a Vegas red curtain look with her sheer, long-sleeved blouse tucked into a black pencil skirt.

Shipka, who plays one of Anderson’s protégés in the film, also kept the showgirl theme alive in a plunging black Elle Saab Resort 2025 dress with a crochet bodice and open back.

Song, who plays one of Anderson’s “girls” alongside Shipka, wore a floor-length dress with laser cutouts on each hip. Necklace-like crystals attached to the bodice provided a showgirl glow to the ensemble.

The Last Showgirl, directed by Gia Coppola, follows a veteran Las Vegas showgirl who faces dramatic life changes after her show unexpectedly closes after 30 years.
