Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 388 The Red Carpet



The company had initially considered Hattie for the advertisement.

During Violeta's absence, Hattie participated in a reality show. Though it was just one episode, her performance garnered quite a bit of attention and won her some fans.

The good reception painted her as a beautiful and kind-hearted girl next door.

Therefore, the map advertisement initially targeted her.

Unexpectedly, Violeta had returned to Chesia.

The brand immediately shifted its focus to Violeta's team.

The brand had made Hattie's team do all the work, but Violeta was chosen in the end. Hattie was furious when she found out.

"Why didn't that b*tch stay in Glorialand and die there? Why has she come back and taken my spot? With the film festival coming up, I can't lose to her on the red carpet!"

Violeta's Glorian makeup was a huge hit, and she had made her name in the fashion world.

With the film festival approaching, SEVITL had sent her a gown to choose from. Many high-end brands also offer her gown, and her choices were broader than ever.

Naturally, having other brands send dresses as a goodwill gesture was very nice.

However, as the spokesperson for SEVITL, and given the brand's generous gesture of providing haute couture gowns, it would be quite disrespectful for Violeta to choose another brand.

One must know how to be grateful and considerate.

Violeta faced online mockery last year after attending Clio's charity night, but SEVITL resolutely announced her as their spokesperson.

Violeta wouldn't be ungrateful and burn bridges.

As a result, Violeta opted to attend the film festival in SEVITL's dress.

Among the eight gowns, she picked a champagne-coloured, strapless gown. Through the thin veil of the skirt, her long legs were vaguely visible through the skirt's thin veil.

The dress was perfectly tailored. The design was both elegant and eye-catching, with a subdued, luxurious colour.

Although it was strapless, it revealed just enough without being inappropriate.

Diamonds were scattered across the gown. Violeta's waist-to-hip ratio appeared even more perfect as the waist, cinched tightly, accentuated her already slender figure.

This film festival appearance was just to show her face.

Violeta didn't have any film work, so she would just sit in the audience.

But having not attended any events for over half a year, her team placed great importance on this appearance.

Eugene stood behind her, his gaze fixed on her neck. He mentioned this to Aster, who was standing beside him. "Do you notice something's missing?"

Aster followed his gaze and nodded.

"Indeed, we're missing the jewellery. If we could land a luxurious jewellery endorsement this year, that would be perfect."

No matter how gorgeous and luxurious a couture dress was, without the right jewellery, something always felt amiss.

Last year, Lydia's little black dress paired with a large gemstone

necklace was particularly striking. In

But jewellery wasn't like dresses.

Through connections, one could borrow dresses, but without brand sponsorship, borrowing jewellery was nearly impossible. Jewellery was too valuable; clothes could be remade, but jewellery couldn't.

If lost, it would be a huge problem.

"Violeta's fame is not quite there yet. Let's wait a little longer. The brands will come knocking soon enough."

That evening, the film festival was set up magnificently, with constant flashes of cameras that almost lit up the night sky.

The order of the red carpet appearances was prearranged by the festival organisers.

Celebrities without works to receive awards were just audiences. Naturally, they wouldn't compete for the red carpet spotlight.

Artists with works to promote mostly walked the red carpet with their entire crew.

For instance, Nolan's film 'Froze' last year.

A group of attractive actors and

actresses walked the red carpet with the director, Austin Cress. The director stood in the middle, flanked by Nolan and Polly.

Violeta's red carpet slot was somewhere in the middle.

champagne-coloured gown, and

was on her. Violeta smiles

gracefully. Her look was impeccably perfect.

The national TV channel broadcast the film festival live.

Under the high-definition camera, her skin appeared flawless, radiant, and delicate.

Her makeup was slightly different from last year's Clio red carpet, highlighting her stunning features.

Countless fans flocked to the fan hub.

After a brief appearance, Violeta walked away and disappeared from the screen.
