Dressed in the most festive ensemble of the year, the 37-year-old American actress radiated charm in a plunging satin dress that teased her perky cleavage and perfectly embraced her figure amid the greenery of the Winter Wonderland.
Leighton chose a red Silvia Tcherassi Daniel maxi dress from the Colombian-American fashion designer’s Fall 2023 collection.
The vintage-inspired outline, embellished with attention-grabbing floral appliqué at the bodice, guaranteed a memorable return on the carpet.

Pairing the gown with strappy black sandal heels that elevated her petite frame, she completed her look with a bright Jimmy Choo satin Venus tiara clutch bag in cream featuring shimmering crystals for a striking contrast.
Minka Kelly’s lookalike adorned herself with delicate dangling earrings from Anita Ko featuring short baguette diamond drops and decked her fingers with multiple diamond rings for extra sparkle.
Leighton chose a simple yet sophisticated look, accentuating her brown eyes with neutral eyeshadow and thick lashes, while her bright red lipstick complemented her party dress.
Her rich brunette hair was styled in a delicate updo with sweeping bangs, completing the look that exuded timeless beauty.
