As Palermo had been traveling, Giambattista Valli and Tamara Ralph “were both kind enough” to send gowns to the “stunning” Venice Venice Hotel where she was staying, Palermo tells PEOPLE. See what dress she chose, how she accessorized and more in the exclusive gallery ahead. 01 of 09 The Squad's All Here Olivia Palermo gets ready to attend the 'Finalmente L'Alba' premiere at the 2023 Venice Vilm Festival. Courtesy of Johannes Huebl "After a quick bite to eat, I got into the glam chair with my long time European makeup artist Sam Tsan, a lead pro artist at Charlotte Tilbury, and hairstylist Philipp Verheyen. I always listen to electronic house music (more melodic than dance though) to keep the vibes energized as its a long night ahead." 02 of 09 Makeup Must-Haves Olivia Palermo gets ready to attend the 'Finalmente L'Alba' premiere at the 2023 Venice Vilm Festival. Courtesy of Sam Tsan "I love a Charlotte Tilbury glam table! I’ve known Charlotte herself forever, and even have my own Hot Lips shade "In Love with Olivia," but tonight was all about their iconic Pillowtalk shade and overall red carpet glam. Sam is so talented, she has been doing my makeup when I am in Europe for probably over a decade now." 03 of 09 One Major Gown Olivia Palermo gets ready to attend the 'Finalmente L'Alba' premiere at the 2023 Venice Vilm Festival.

I loved the silk petal adorned sleeves." 04 of 09 Final Touches Olivia Palermo gets ready to attend the 'Finalmente L'Alba' premiere at the 2023 Venice Vilm Festival. Courtesy of Johannes Huebl "Tamara Ralph, whose debut show I attended during Paris Couture in July, arranged for a seamstress to meet me and do a proper fitting. My fashion philosophy is no matter whether something is from Zara or Couture, proper tailoring is essential!" 05 of 09 Gem of a Necklace Olivia Palermo gets ready to attend the 'Finalmente L'Alba' premiere at the 2023 Venice Vilm Festival. Courtesy of Olivia Palermo "No red carpet look is complete without a little glitz! And I am most definitely a jewelry girl. While my new short hair is great for an earring moment, I think the neckline of the dress called for a necklace. The vivid pink of the rubellite in this yellow gold Marco Bicego convertible lariat pendant fit the bill perfectly."
