In the car on her way to the awards ceremony this evening, the actress sent a short video to the designer of her dress, thanking him for the custom creation he made. In the Instagram video, Rodriguez beams into the camera as she thanks Posen for the “glorious dress” that makes her “feel like a princess,” enthusing that it means the “absolute world to me that you have such confidence.”

The dress itself features all of the couture construction that has become Zac Posen’s signature, including an expertly tailored bodice, box pleats at the waist, and a full, dramatic skirt. But the real winning point of this dress has to be the folded, off-the-shoulder neckline that perfectly frames Gina’s face and shows off her drop earrings to advantage.
