Natasha Poly Makes the White Tank Top Venice-Worthy in Diesel

Natasha Poly attended the Be Brave premiere during the Venice Film Festival on Thursday, joined on the red carpet by Diesel creative director Glenn Martens.

The model wore a custom Diesel gown that took one of the most basic pieces in any wardrobe – the white tank top – and stretched the idea all the way to the Venice red carpet.

Made from ribbed jersey, the fitted tank construction extended into a floor-length silhouette with draping through the skirt and an enormous train. And enormous really is the word here. At one point, it required assistance just to make its way along the red carpet.

I love the concept. Taking something as familiar as a white tank and giving it this scale feels completely in keeping with Diesel, while Natasha has the height and presence to make the Venice-worthy.

The Damiani choker was an excellent addition. Against such a simple neckline, the colour and sparkle gave the look exactly what it needed, while Diesel’s silver Oval D pumps continued the metallic accent.

Be Brave, directed by Francesco Carrozzini, is a documentary about Diesel founder Renzo Rosso, so Natasha wearing Glenn Martens’ take on a Diesel staple for the world premiere made perfect sense.

This might essentially be a white tank top with a train, but on Natasha Poly, that was more than that.
