While the unusual dress would probably not be everyone's top choice for a special occasion look, there was no denying its ability to make a style statement.
The model's dress was all about unexpected angles and lines with the long sleeve gown featuring a rectangular high neck, a low draped back and slightly flared sleeves.
The dress was tight across the blonde's bust before flowing out on a bias into a mid-length skit.
Not only did the catwalk star's skirt have plenty of movement when she walked, it also had an impressive split which finished in the middle of her hip.

While predominately white, the silk gown had black flowers with hints of orange down on side, which appeared to take inspiration from traditional kimono prints.
Giving it an avant garde edge, Karlie wore just one earring which was also from Prabal Gurung.
The silver twisted sphere earring was handmade from Nepalese recycled silver.
