The model and business woman avoided making a fashion faux pas by rocking a dress by the designer in question to the event.

The glamorous gown had Paris written all over it, from the statement sheer sides, to the metallic silver material. It also had the work of The Blonds written all over it! After all, the label - founded by Phillipe and David Blond in 2007 - are all about OTT glamour with a rebellious twist.
