The 5ft 4½ (163.8 cm) American singer and actress looked overwhelmed by her floaty red Giambattista Valli Resort 2018 gown featuring a ruffled cape.

Her accessories added a touch of timeless glamour: Chopard diamond earrings paired with a matching diamond necklace, finished with Jimmy Choo’s classic “Anouk” satin pumps.

And while the gown’s sweeping layers mostly hid her footwear, we managed to catch a quick glimpse of her red satin Jimmy Choo Anouk pumps, their sharply pointed toes just peeking out as she moved along the carpet.
