A vision: Tilda Swinton turned her back on her usual suited and booted ensemble as she slipped into a simply sensational white gown which made the most of her statuesque frame at the star-studded BFI Luminous Fundraising Gala on Tuesday (pictured right in 2014)
Oozing elegance, the flame-haired beauty clad her statuesque figure in the gown which was simple yet stunning in design and cut.
The white gown hung perfectly off her frame while she contrasted the pale colour against her slick of bold red lipstick – standing out on her alabaster complexion.
She styled her bleach blonde crop into coiffed curls sitting in a stiff style while her flawless make-up was elegantly applied.
Her ageless complexion far defied her years as she showed off an extraordinarily smooth complexion through her delicately applied cosmetics.
