Klum glided across the red carpet in an elegant nod to this year’s dress code, stunning in a custom strapless black gown from Vetements that hugged her curves. White print detailing trimmed the dress’s neckline as well as the ultra-long train that trailed behind her as she walked. Wearing a large diamond pendant around her neck, model complemented the LBD with her signature glam, composed of smokey eyeshadow and a matte nude lipstick. As for hair, Klum styled her radiant blonde locks in a blowout that showed off her layering. A pair of pointy-toed black leather shoes finished off her elegant statement look.
The Project Runway host’s ensemble is her take on this year’s theme, “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” which is inspired by scholar Monica Miller’s book, Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity. The fashion showcase—which is co-chaired by Pharrell Williams, Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, A&AP Rocky, Anna Wintour, and Lebron James—is accompanied by an exhibit featuring work from designers Virgil Abloh and Grace Wales Bonner, among many others.
