DUBAI: Saudi Arabia-based Argentine model Georgina Rodriguez graced the red carpet at the 81st Venice International Film Festival this week, before she was awarded the Diva E Donna Woman of the Year Award for her Netflix series “Soy Georgina.”
She wore an Oscar de la Renta gown, which featured a strapless neckline with a softly draped bodice. The fabric flowed smoothly, creating a structured yet fluid look, and the dress was accented by a thigh-high slit and long train.
Rodriguez arrived in Venice on Tuesday aboard a private jet, wearing fitted black shorts paired with fishnet tights and a matching top before she changed into a back minidress. The model flew to Italy from Monaco, where she attended the UEFA Champions League Group Stage draw alongside her partner, football icon Cristiano Ronaldo.
Rodriguez has been living in Saudi Arabia since January 2023, following Ronaldo’s signing with Al-Nassr football club. Since then, she has made an effort to explore the Kingdom and her experiences will be featured in the third season of her Netflix show.
The reality TV show “Soy Georgina” (“I Am Georgina”) will focus on her life in Saudi Arabia, documenting her journey after the move with Ronaldo.
“What is true luxury like in Saudi Arabia? We will find out when Gio and her family settle in Riyadh with Cristiano's signing for Al-Nassr,” Netflix stated.
According to the announcement, the season will also show Rodriguez enjoying a number of firsts, including the opening of her first beach house, Villa Perla, to starring in an international campaign for a luxury clothing brand and her Paris Fashion Week debut.
The star couple took some time off from their hectic schedules to explore Saudi Arabia’s coastline and the Red Sea development in June.
The two took to social media to post photos from their relaxing getaway at what seemed to be The St. Regis Red Sea Resort. They were seen enjoying the resort and its pristine beaches along with their children.
“My world,” Rodriguez captioned her post, featuring several images from the vacation.
In one of the photos, Portuguese footballer Ronaldo can be seen relaxing in a pool with his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. who turned 14 this June.
