La Dolce Tomei: Marisa Remains an Italian Siren of Style at 59
Like a fine Brunello, Marisa Tomei only gets better with age. The 59-year-old actress brought her signature Italian flair to the Bronx & Banco fashion show during New York Fashion Week, lighting up the front row in a sultry pink lace ensemble.
Clad in a sheer blazer and matching pants from the designer brand’s latest collection, Tomei embodied sensual glamour. The lightly-lined lace fabric revealed hints of skin in all the right places, while the raw-hemmed jacket added a touch of downtown edge. With her dark locks worn in breezy waves and gold jewelry providing a subtle accent, Tomei looked every inch the Bronx bombshell.
The actress has never been one to shy away from risqué silhouettes or scene-stealing colors. Over her decades in the spotlight, she has rocked everything from curve-hugging crop tops to glittering red carpet gowns with equal panache. Yet Tomei manages to balance sex appeal with genuine charisma, remaining beloved by fans and fashionistas alike.
At March’s Film Independent Spirit Awards, she once again brought a captivating mix of sophistication and sultriness. Clad in a satin tuxedo blazer and matching pants, Tomei revealed a peek-a-boo bralette underneath, along with a cascading pearl necklace that seemed to disappear into her décolletage. With softly waved hair, smoky eyes, and barely-there makeup, it was an effortlessly alluring ensemble.
Tomei took a similarly glamorous approach to the Spider-Man: Far From Home premiere that same year. Turning heads in a voluminous hot pink gown, she radiated joy and confidence amidst her younger Marvel co-stars. With a ruffled neckline, sheer top, and breezy open back, the dress showed she refuses to let her fashion choices become boring with age. From the playful color to the fairytale-esque cape trailing behind, it was red carpet magic.
The key to her enduring radiance, Tomei says, lies in simple self-care. “Growing up, I was interested in meditation and in grounding myself. That led to how I take care of my body in the best way,” she recently told Vogue. Blessed with sensitive skin, the actress keeps her beauty routine gentle yet effective. She cleanses with Cetaphil and plays up her eyes with volumizing Lancôme mascara and a trusty lash curler.
Whether dazzling at a film premiere or sitting front row at fashion week, La Tomei has only gotten more sophisticated and seductive in her fifth decade. She may light up the red carpet with vivid hues, but her captivating confidence shines brightest of all, transcending temporary trends. Like her screen performances, Marisa’s style impact endures—la dolce vita indeed.
