The satin outfit, composed of a tiny top with thin spaghetti straps and a floor-length skirt with a front slit, features a column-like silhouette.

But although it’s shapeless, the sparkling micro crystals, the feminine bow detail, satin trims, and jewel-encrusted buttons make the dress stunning.

A pair of Miu Miu satin platform sandals rounded out her elegant look.
