The author pulled her tresses into a tight and chic ponytail and accessorised with a statement gold open choker. 

She showed off her stylish look in a variety of Instagram snaps the same day, including one with singer Kelly Rowland who stunned in a white pencil dress with sheer panel near the hemline.
