The 26-year-old actress, wearing a shimmery sequined gold dress by Michael Kors, accompanied the designer to the festivities. Along with sparkling hoop earrings and a classic headband to better accent her signature tousled blonde tresses, Lively completed the look with pink suede pumps. While this daring retro look could have easily looked too costumey for the everyday wearer, the wife of fellow actor Ryan Reynolds made it her own, adding modern touches to enhance her personal style.

Back in 2013, she told Lucky Magazine that one of her best tricks is knowing what looks good on her body. “I like a waistline, a nip almost right under the boobs, because I want the lines of the clothes to make a journey around my curves, rather than travel straight up my body,” explains the star, who reportedly doesn’t work with a stylist. Lively also suggested making a collection out of your favorite accessories so you’ll always have something to complete your outfit. For the actress, she loves scarves, plastic bangles, cocktail rings, flea market finds, and towering Christian Louboutin heels to elongate her figure.
