The actress wore this sumptuous, luxurious asymmetric dress with burn-out OR devore fabric and embellishment to Cartier’s Third Annual Loveday Celebration and Cartier Love Charity Bracelet launch, in Los Angeles, June 18.

This also multiplies the dimensions of texture and adds another level of asymmetry.
