It was a balmy night on the French Riviera when Kelly Rutherford stepped onto the red carpet at the Summer Gala by Gala One in Saint-Tropez—an event known as much for its luxurious ambiance as its well-dressed attendees. The actress, beloved for her role as Lily van der Woodsen on Gossip Girl, proved once again that timeless elegance never goes out of style.
Draped in a striking one-shoulder white crochet dress by French label Maje, Rutherford embodied the perfect balance of sophistication and summer ease. The intricately woven dress hugged her figure with a soft architectural edge, creating a silhouette that felt both contemporary and romantic. With its sheer detailing and airy texture, the look evoked a Mediterranean lightness that was ideal for the setting, all while nodding to the elevated simplicity the actress has long championed in her personal style.
The dress—crafted in a modern crochet pattern—was a refreshing reminder of how artisanal techniques can shine in high fashion contexts. Paired with open-toe heels, a structured ivory bag, and subtle gold jewellery, her styling was intentionally pared back, allowing the craftsmanship of the dress to take centre stage. Her hair, swept into a low chignon, completed the refined look with quiet poise.
Joining her was her 18-year-old son, Hermés Gustaf Daniel Giersch, who complemented his mother’s crisp white ensemble in a light linen suit worn over a relaxed open-collar shirt. Their appearance together was a rare and warmly received moment—one that added depth and sentiment to the already stylish evening. The two posed gracefully, offering a familial softness that stood out amid the glamour.
The event itself, held on July 24, 2025, brought together fashion insiders, tastemakers, and A-listers for an evening celebrating art, style, and the Mediterranean summer spirit. As flashes from the paparazzi lit up the Saint-Tropez backdrop, Rutherford’s presence was a lesson in how modern women can wear bold pieces—like an open-weave white dress—with complete ease and confidence.
