She absolutely stunned in a black & white couture halter gown with a feathered white tulle skirt and black & white bodice styled by Ralph & Russo from their Spring/Summer 2017 collection. She completed her look with jewelry on loan from Tiffany & Company’s flagship store.
No one else came close — although many tried, including Nicki Minaj (dressed in funeral attire again); Lupita Nyong’o (always impeccably dressed); and the tragic fail of the evening, singer Rihanna, who thinks she looks good in anything. Try again next year, girl!
