With a grand gala paving our way, the looks ought to be grander than the soiree itself. And safe to say, our fashion icons didn’t disappoint. While some took the golden lady home, others won the red carpet affair. Check out some notable looks from the soiree:
ZENDAYA
Always in vogue, Zendaya looked STUNNING in a crimson silk faille 2-piece ensemble comprised of a narrow skirt with an asymmetric hand draped bubble waist and bandeau bra from Vera Wang. A delicate necklace and bracelets added to the bling affair of her look. With radiant glam and edgy corn braids, she rounded off her look.
ANYA TAYLOR-JOY
Be it any soiree, Anya is never the one to disappoint with her sartorial statements. For the gala, the actress opted for a custom violet moiré peplum jacket over a bustier cocktail dress from Oscar de la Renta. The animal-print gloves and hat added a pop of print to her monotone attire. Keeping the Barbie element intact was the fishnet and a detailed glam with bold lips and romantic curls.
EMILY BLUNT
Hostess for the night, Emily graced the soiree in a popping orange suit from Christopher John Rogers. Taking the shirtless blazer route, she accessorized her feisty neckline with a layered necklace
CARA DELEVINGNE

EMILY RATAJKOWSKI
