Joining George Clooney for the evening, the international human rights lawyer selected a floor-length column dress from McQueen’s “In Memory of Elizabeth Howe” collection. The gown featured sculpted gold sequins arranged in intricate geometric patterns throughout the design, creating a strong Art Deco influence. Its construction included cap sleeves, a plunging V-neckline, and a fitted shape. The metallic embellishment and  detailing reflected the craftsmanship of the original runway design, which remains one of the notable eveningwear pieces from the collection.

She styled the gown with gold pointed-toe pumps, a matching metallic clutch and  earrings. Her beauty look remained simple, with styled loose waves parted to the side and natural-toned makeup.

Originally presented during Alexander McQueen’s Fall 2007 runway, the dress formed part of a collection inspired by the Salem witch trials and dedicated to Elizabeth Howe. The gown has also maintained cultural significance beyond the runway, having previously been worn by Cameron Diaz at the premiere  of Shrek the Third 2007.
