Embracing a crisp, summer-ready look, Vanessa turned heads in an all-white Catherine Malandrino ensemble.

She styled her outfit with a sleek top knot, a Givenchy “Nightingale” handbag, and minimalist tan sandals that subtly elevated her ensemble with their barely-there appeal—later revealed to be Giuseppe Zanotti plated-heel sandals.
