For the occasion, she wore a Yves Saint Laurent black velvet dress that hit her knee and featured a waist-cinching effect.

Along with a structured shoulder, it also sported a lace trim along the edges of the sleeves and the deeply plunging neckline, accentuated by her hair, styled to one side in a lush wave, and paired with minimal jewelry and a bold red lip.
