Debra wore a custom black and silver hand embroidered crystal and feather silk tulle gown by American designer Pamella Roland.  

Hand embroidered in India, each panel took over a month to complete. The feathers were hand dyed and applied one by one with custom metallic sequins and crystals. 

Over 100 more hours were spent altering the dress in the label's new New York atelier. A team of 10 added 10,000 more feathers and crystals by hand.

The Inspiration behind her hairdo was all-out drama.

'Glamour was our goal,' said Master Celebrity Hairstylist Robert Vetica. 'So we added extensions for more volume, as well as about three inches of extra length. 

'Then, because her Pamella Roland dress has so much movement, we left Debra’s hair down and loose—no tight updos—and really played up the shine and bounce,' explained the stylist.

Robert used Leonor Greyl and Olivia Garden products on the comedian.  

'I applied Leonor Greyl Condition Naturelle and Mousse au Lotus Volumatrice to Debra’s clean, damp hair, parted her hair in the middle and blew her hair straight with an Olivia Garden Ceramic Ion Dryer and Ecohair Combo Vent round brush. 

'As I dried, I directed Debra’s hair back, away from her face.'

Once Debra’s hair was dry, she added the extensions for length and volume.

'I mixed a cocktail of Leonor Greyl Eclat Naturel and Gel a l’hibiscus through Debra’s hair for added shine and texture, and smoothed the top layer again with the blow-dryer.'

Next, the stylist sprayed her hair with the Leonor Greyl Laque Souple, took a curling iron and wrapped just the ends of Debra’s hair around the barrel for a polished look. 

'The hairspray will help the waves endure and gave her hair tremendous shine. I finished by tucking Debra’s hair behind her ears so that the look is tight in the front—and shiny, healthy—and loose—down her back.'  

A few days before the big night, Debra visited esthetician and founder of JV Skincare, Joanna Vargas, who according to Debra 'makes me look like I've had a face lift after she's done her magic.'  

Work of art: 'Because her Pamella Roland dress has so much movement, we left Debra’s hair down and loose—no tight updos—and really played up the shine and bounce,' explained Vetica
