Despite its grandeur, the gown exuded an ethereal charm, with sheer layers and subtle silver accents adding a touch of sparkle to its curved draping details. It featured the designer’s signature waves made out of organza embroidery to create the silhouette he’s most known for.

The designer shared pictures of the actress in the gown on Instagram and wrote: “Mindy radiates grace, making her the ideal muse for this design. Just as a flower blooms only once before withering away, this gown embodies the transient yet exquisite essence of style. It’s almost like the gown Mindy is wearing melts away in time, evoking a surreal journey through loops of infinity, as represented by our brand logo”.

The intricate piece was titled The Melting Flower of Time and successfully captured the essence of the night’s theme – Garden of Time. The design aimed to represent a bud and a withering flower.

The Ocean’s 8 actress also chose accessories that complimented the dress, such as flower-shaped rings.

Keeping the rest of her look neutral-toned, just like her dress, Mindy sported a soft smokey eye and had her short bob styled with a curl and a deep side part.

The elaborate ensemble was an instant hit at the event and quickly became one of the most shared outfits online from this years red carpet.

The actress first attended the event in 2013 and her appearance this year marks her ninth time attending the annual gala, we can see why she’s a regular at the highly sought-after event.
