Styled by her The Drew Barrymore Show stylist, Lee Harris, she wowed in a sequin floral gown by Lanvin with a cape and floor length sleeves, apt for the presidential theme of the night.

The look was perfectly styled with neutral and glowy make-up along with a slicked back, middle part ponytail. She accessorized her dress with Suzanne Belperrone statement jewelry, and a silver Roger Vivier bag.

Her stylist endearingly called her "this gorgeous woman" in his post about the look, and fans rushed to the comments to compliment her.

The glamorous look

Fellow designer and Project Runway alum Christian Siriano approved, writing: "Fab." One fan commented: "So beautiful," while another wrote: "Wow. She looks sooooo pretty," and a third cheekily chimed in with: "Kim Kardashian who? This is the look."
