Rosamund Pike brought a fresh take on Victorian-inspired style to the Dior cruise 2025 presentation in Rome on Wednesday. The actress stepped out in a head-to-toe lace look, wearing the brand’s black lace Naughtily-D heeled ankle boot with a delicate lace maxiskirt and short-sleeve blouse. The outfit comprised Look 55 from the Dior cruise 2024 collection.

Pike finished the look with Dior’s Caro bucket bag and a pair of sparkling drop earrings.
Victorian-nodding boots have had a moment this year with celebrities, as Chappell Roan also put her stamp on the classic in February at the 2025 Grammy Awards. For the occasion, the “Pink Pony Club” singer was styled in custom John Fluevog lace-up boots with black suede uppers, accompanied by bright yellow leather capped toes in a square shape.
In March, Pike fronted a campaign for Dior’s D-Journey bag, starring in a parody infomercial alongside Zheng Qinwen and Sonam Kapoor. The “Gone Girl” star played the role of a spokesperson, making a case for the Maria Grazia Chiuri-designed bag, which first debuted at the spring 2025 ready-to-wear show.

Last year, Pike leveraged her talent to promote another Dior design: the Lady 95.22. The actress starred in a campaign for the iconic handbag, whose name takes inspiration from Princess Diana and references the years 1995, when the Lady Dior was created, and 2022, when its reinterpretation was revealed. Jennifer Lawrence, Anya Taylor-Joy, Blackpink’s Jisoo and tennis player Emma Raducanu also posed for the 2023 campaign.
Pike has favored Dior’s lace looks in the past. At the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, she arrived on the red carpet in a tea-length Dior gown with botanical lace. Pike paired the dress, which debuted on the runway during Dior’s fall 2019 couture presentation in Paris, with open-toe platform heels and a matching veiled headpiece by Philip Treacy to conceal an injury she picked up while skiing.
“It was partly inspired when I had a skiing accident on December 26th,” she told host Jeannie Mai and WWD’s West Coast executive editor, Booth Moore, of the headpiece while on the red carpet. “I did some freestyle on my chin and I thought, ‘Oh dear, that’s really not a good look for the Golden Globes in under two weeks.’ I’ve completely took the skin off my chin, so I needed to kind of think creatively about how to approach red carpet dressing.”
