The Ziad Nakad gown was a deep, rich navy blue. The form-fitting bodice had intricate blue lace with a nude fabric that added a bold and daring touch to the high-glam, feminine dress. With long sleeves and a high neckline, the gown was backless. The satin skirt trailed down, with a unique drape at the waistline. The skirt flared out and appeared voluminous. To emphasize the high neckline and focus on the statement lacework, her hair was pulled into a sleek updo. Keeping her accessories minimal, she wore only a pair of dazzling earrings. The entire ensemble radiated luxurious, old-world elegance, with lavish satin and intricate lacework. The high-fashion glam was maintained with natural, dewy makeup—subtle blush, rosy lips, liner, and voluminous lashes.
The outfit was a perfect blend of light and dark feminine aesthetics. While it embodied bold, dark feminine energy with the backless cut, sleek hair updo, and deep shade of shimmery blue, it also conveyed light feminine energy through the dainty lacework, dewy makeup, and voluminous skirt.
