Earn your style stripes with an embellished maxi like Yara
These photos of Yara Shahidi nearly took our breathe away. She made her first appearance on the red carpet of the SAG Awards wearing this stunning sheer, striped, ground sweeping gown by Naeem Khan. Naeem Khan is known for his elegant eveningwear and has dressed more than his fair share of royals to A-list actresses for those special events.
We love the brightly colored stripes that accentuate her fit figure but then the sheer insert add a bit of sexiness to a playful look.
Sadly, this dress is not available online since it's from the spring 2016 collection. That being said, why don't you be bright at your next ball with one of the alternatives in the edit below. Style it simply like Yara or go for a statement bracelet or large over sized earrings to add some sparkle.

Yara accessorized the statement making dress with a black woven Onna Ehrlich clutch.
Making sure to not detract from the gown, Yara kept the rest of her look simple wearing her hair slicked back.
Yara's fun look and big smile comes despite President Trump's immigration ban hitting home for the young star.

Having her say: The 'proud Black Iranian' took to Instagram to speak about what the President's immigration ban means to her
The executive order bars citizens of seven countries including Iran from entering the United States for the next 90 days, suspends the admission of all refugees for 120 days and bars Syrian refugees until further notice.
Yara's mother is African-American and Native Choctaw while her father is Iranian American.
On Saturday Yara took to Instagram to speak about what the ban means to her.
Everyone's here: Yara's co-stars joined her on the red carpet including Anthony Anderson, who was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series - won by William H. Macy
The 16-year-old wrote: 'I am the result of love. More specifically, Black and Iranian love. Of Shia love, of Christian love, of American love...
'If my Baba was stuck at an airport because of a Muslim ban 39 years ago, he would have never fallen in love with my Mama. I would not exist and I wouldn't have had to amazing brothers.
'Xenophobia destroys the power of love and the power of our collective potential. It creates a false sense of security for some and an environment of fear for others. Immigrants don't threaten safety - stereotypical narratives that promote hate do.'
Co-star cuties: Her on-screen siblings were also all there including 'twins' Marsai Martin and Miles Brown
Stepping out: Their fellow co-star and 'brother' Marcus Scribner also made sure to be at the event rocking a colourful bow tie
While Black-ish was nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series - which was won by Orange Is The New Black - the show has addressed many serious social issues this season including police brutality towards men of colour.
