Christina Ricci attends the closing of Marina Abramovic’s “The Artist is Present” hosted by Givenchy at The Museum of Modern Art on June 1, 2010 in New York City. She wore a rather unusual mesh and feather dress from the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2010 collection.
She also wore makeup courtesy of NARS. “I wanted Christina’s look to exude edgy classic noir,” says NARS National Makeup Artist Francelle . “It’s all about the eyes. We kept them classic but infused edginess by adding green tones.”

This performance retrospective traces the prolific career of Marina Abramović (Yugoslav, b. 1946) with approximately fifty works spanning over four decades of her early interventions and sound pieces, video works, installations, photographs, solo performances, and collaborative performances made with Ulay (Uwe Laysiepen). In an endeavor to transmit the presence of the artist and make her historical performances accessible to a larger audience, the exhibition includes the first live re-performances of Abramović’s works by other people ever to be undertaken in a museum setting. In addition, a new, original work performed by Abramović will mark the longest duration of time that she has performed a single solo piece.
Here’s Christina Ricci’s dress on the runway for the Givenchy Fall/Winter 2010 collection:
