Thanks to concert films bringing a fresh and exciting perspective to theaters, movie premieres are taking on a new meaning.

On Nov. 25, 2023, the woman of the hour graced the Los Angeles premiere wearing a show-stopping metallic gold gown.

Canadian model Winnie Harlow brought drama to the chrome carpet in a striking, black puff-sleeve top paired with high-waisted, wide-leg trousers. Her ensemble showcased a perfect blend of sophistication and edginess, aligning seamlessly with the glamorous theme of the night. Winnie’s sleek, pulled-back hair and statement accessories added the finishing touches to her fashion-forward look.
3. Kelly Rowland
Destiny’s Child alum Kelly Rowland turned heads in a metallic silver mermaid dress that hugged her curves in all the right places.
