The actress took on a red carpet challenge from her longtime stylist Jessica Paster.

Jessica challenged Olivia to take the meaning of couture to new heights by wearing a fully embellished Nicolas Jebran dress. While the dress wasn’t the typical ball gown we associate with the word “couture,” it was unique. The barely-there front was covered with cheeky embroidered and beaded art, and it was definitely a conversation starter.
