When Jessica Alba arrived at the 2019 Baby2Baby Gala in Los Angeles, she provided a masterclass in modern red-carpet glamour.

For the occasion, Alba leaned into a high-shine, Gatsby-inspired aesthetic that remains one of her most memorable fashion moments. Joined by her husband, Cash Warren, she proved that classic Hollywood elegance is always in season.

Looking beautiful as ever, Jessica slipped into a Ralph & Russo Fall 2019 Couture white illusion cocktail dress, hand-embellished with white pearls and iridescent sequins.

The form-fitting, semi-sheer, sleeveless frock also features tiers of devoré ostrich feathers on the skirt and shoulder straps, and a cleavage-baring, low-cut neckline.

The Honest Company founder, who has always worn her tresses long, debuted a surprising new look for the gala. Hairstylist Jesus Guerrero chopped off several inches of Jessica’s hair into a collarbone-skimming lob and styled it straight with a middle parting.

Celebrity makeup artist Monika Blunder applied KOSAS Cosmetics gold eyeshadow to the actress. She also used liquid eyeliner and mascara from Jessica’s Honest Beauty makeup line to accentuate her eyes. Lastly, she mixed Honest Beauty tinted lip balm in Lychee Fruit with liquid lipstick in BFF for a nude pout.
