An off-white bodice was subtly deconstructed, while a long red silk skirt was boned and fastened by hook-and-eyes hugging her voluptuous plus size curves in all the right places.

To get the look, pair a sexy bodice with a fitted ruffled skirt and accent them both with flower fabric brooches.

Nicki Minaj‪ wore a sheer organza gown featuring a long dramatic black and red train that put the rapper's legs on full display.

Her showstopping ensemble included black vinyl roses at the hem and beneath the train. The dress was held by an off-the-shoulder silk duchesse kimono top, and a belt featuring a mask of Rei's face.

She accessorized the look with opulent rings and bracelets designed by several high-end jewelers including Hearts on Fire, Mattia Cielo, DVANI, Le Vian, L’dezen by Payal Shah, and Lydia Courteille. 

To get the look, opt for structured silhouettes in a moody red and black color scheme, and show a little (or a lot!) of leg. Pants are optional.

Model Jourdan Dunn wore a white and navy pinstripe dress that played with the theme of deconstructing and subverting traditional garments. This unraveled look is a popular design of Rei's that has become a huge trend in fashion this season. 

Her silk taffeta top appeared to be falling off her shoulders and her deconstructed skirt was cut asymmetrically and into bows. She elevated her look with Lorraine Schwartz 12 carat diamond and white jade earrings and a $700,000 diamond snake ring.

Her date, Future, was also dressed in H&M. The rapper wore a slim-fitted Conscious black tail-coat made from organic silk, Tencel and wool. He wore it with a dark navy shirt in organic silk and a bow tie.

To get Jourdan's look, reach for a deconstructed blouse and pinstripe bottoms. Accent the look with bows - a kitschy detail Rei is known for.
