Kate Beckinsale is taking her iconic bow trend to the next level!

The Jolt actress, 50, has been showing off her love of oversized bows via social media as of late. However, on Tuesday, July 23, the English actress switched her playful style for a high-class moment.

Posing for photos at the Summer Gala by Gala One at Golf Club Saint-Tropez in Gassin, France, Beckinsale channeled vintage glam vibes with a form-fitting strapless black velvet gown featuring a plunging, structured neckline.

Resting at her hips were textured, gold metallic bows for dramatic flair.

Beckinsale’s hair was styled in a 1960s Old Hollywood high ponytail. She accessorized with gold chandelier earrings and a single leopard-print bracelet on her left wrist.

Others in attendance at the Summer Gala by Gala One included Eiza González Rivera, Camila Cabello and Emma Roberts, with a performance by Kylie Minogue.

Like Beckinsale, the “Señorita” singer and the newly engaged American Horror Story: Delicate actress also wore black for the special occasion. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare talent opted for a nude gown instead.

Ahead of Tuesday’s star-studded event, Beckinsale addressed critics who had negative commentary regarding her love for big bows.

"Please take that ridiculous bow off," a user commented on the Underworld star’s June 17 Instagram carousel.

The actress responded with just as much sass as the social media tr -

"As I said before, take that expression off your bitter a-- face. Unless you can't. In which case, condolences,” Beckinsale replied.

Another user in her comment section left a message comparing Beckinsale to "a toddler in a pageant."

After a different person commented, "I am a happy person, and I still think the head dressing is a very poor choice,” Beckinsale fired off once more.

"You can't be that happy if you have any time or inclination to actually type concerns about what someone you don't know is wearing or not,” she wrote back.

More recently, the Total Recall star shared an Instagram video explainer about how “some, not all” of the people who follow her on social media "get upset" and don't think she's "doing enough age-appropriate things."

"I thought I'd let them kick off their week with a little stab of joy, of me putting on a hair net," she said, later adding, "So for those of you who are gonna get off on this, have a look, b------."

"Let’s have a toast for the douche bags / Let’s have a toast for the a------- / Let’s have a toast for the scumbags," she captioned the clip, adding several emojis blowing kisses.
