Styled by Jessica Paster, whose clients include Quinta Brunson and Emily Blunt, Close wore the “Love Letter” Embroidery Dress, a striking piece by creative director Olivier Rousteing for the house’s Resort 2025 Collection. The gown features a round neckline and a slim silhouette. Its structured shoulders and attached opera gloves, a hallmark of Balmain’s tailoring, added a bold element to the look. The black fabric of the dress was adorned with intricate embroidery inspired by handwritten letters.
