Madonna doesn't always take herself so seriously.

At the Venice International Film Festival premiere of W.E. Thursday, the 53-year-old Material Girl looked youthful as ever in a colorful custom-made Vionnet gown. Complete with red butterfly embellishments, the dress showed off the singer's toned arms and tiny waistline.

Madonna -- who directed the film -- accessorized the look with red glitter Miu Miu sunglasses and python Vionnet heels. See more pics of Madonna at the W.E. premiere.

Earlier in the day, Madonna -- currently dating French break-dancer Brahim Zaibat, 24 -- credited her ex-husbands for inspiring her to get into the moviemaking business.

"I see myself as a story teller and don't see it as such a big jump from songwriter to filmmaker because in the end we are all telling stories," she said. "I am and was attracted to creative people, which is why I married Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, who are both talented directors. They both encouraged me and were very supportive."

    I actually like that dress. She looks great in it, I'm just not into this whole "dragging on the ground" look. That will always look sloppy to me.

    What happened to her face? I swear it looks so different than it did 5 years ago. She definately had something done.
