Julianne, 63, stepped out on the red carpet in Italy in a gold sequinned gown that featured long sleeves and a plunging neckline.
The gown stretched all the way to the floor, and the sequins flipped up to reveal a red-orange gown underneath.
Julianne wore her hair tied back in a slick low updo style and she accessorized with gold earrings with a red-orange accent to match her dress.
She had a face full of glam makeup, including a smokey eyeshadow look.
The actress was at the event with director Pedro Almodovar and co-star Tilda Swinton.
During the movie premiere, Julianne, Pedro, and Tilda, 63, stood for a rousing 17-minute standing ovation.
BRAVO!
Attendees shared videos from the special moment on X.
One noted that the moment was “the longest stretch of clapping” they had seen at the festival.
Julianne and Tilda both smiled, clapped, and held hands with Pedro at certain points during the ovation.
Fans in the comments were thrilled for the cast and director.
“I sense Oscars!!” gushed one film buff.
“A great filmmaker with superb actresses. Bravo…can’t wait to see the film!” noted a second.
“Love Julianne and Tilda, sooo happy for them queens,” penned another in part.
GOOD TEAM
Tilda opened up about working alongside Pedro and Julianne in an interview with Women’s Wear Daily.

She has previously worked with Pedro on the short film The Human Voice.
The film was loosely based on Jean Cocteau’s 1930 stage play by the same name.
Tilda referred to herself as an “ardent worshipper in [Pedro’s] church.”
In The Room Next Door, Tilda and Julianna play Marth and Ingrid – close friends who worked together at a magazine in their younger days.
Ingrid went on to become a novelist, while Martha became a war reporter.
The women went their separate ways but reconnected after a situation brought them back together after many years without contact.
“It really follows a trajectory for Pedro. For me, it’s clearly an evolution from ‘Pain and Glory’. In that, once again it looks at the territory of old friendship and that’s such a beautiful territory and relatively unexplored. That’s something we’re very proud of,” she said.
She noted that the film investigates “what that old bond can allow you to do and how compassionate it can make us, because we’ve known someone since they were very young, we’ve seen them through all their whole topography of their development, and then we came back and realized that there’s something unshakable.”
Pedro, for his part, praised Tilda and Julianne for being the “spectacle” of the film and carrying “the weight of the whole film on their shoulders.”
“I have been fortunate in that both give a veritable recital. At times during shooting, both the crew and I were on the verge of tears watching them. It was a very moving shoot and, in some way, blessed,” he said.
