Heart Evangelista
International fashion icon Heart Evangelista wowed in a confectionary white dress from the Spring/Summer 2024 collection of the Italian house Giambattista Valli. The voluminous halter-style gown features a creamy white overlay atop a bejeweled corset, adorned with supersized roses, ribbons, and a dramatic balloon skirt.
Gabbi Garcia
Boldness and brutalism were clearly Gabbi Garcia‘s keywords of the night. The actress donned an avante-garde gown by Rick Owens and was styled by Steven Coralde and Leanne Ledesma. Her gown featured a cape-like drape over the shoulder, a full sequin finish, and shark blue stripes that lent the ensemble an athletic touch.
