Francesca Cavallin's Venice Film Festival Dress Is Sheer Elegance (PHOTOS)

Now THIS Is How You Wear A Cutout Gown

Cutouts come in all shapes and sizes these days. You have the "belly peek-a-boo" (as seen on Selena Gomez), the slashed variation (as seen on Lily Collins) and the "boob window."

The latter made an appearance on the 70th Venice International Film Festival red carpet yesterday, courtesy of Francesca Cavallin. Plucked from Barbara Casasola's Fall 2013 collection, the Italian actress' lavender and eggplant gown featured a plunging neckline with a sheer overlay. It was the perfect way to try the cutout trend without veering into tacky (as seen on Ashley Benson).

We're considering Cavallin's look a win for the world of cutouts. Check out the photos below and tell us what you think!
