R&B singer and rumored bae of Burna Boy, Chloe Bailey, stole the spotlight as one of the night’s standout arrivals. The “Treat Me” singer left it all on the event’s carpet, giving the girls everything to the girls she needed to give.
Chloe gracefully stepped in front of the cameras wearing a breathtaking Gaurav Gupta black and silver floor-length gown. Styled by Jason Rembert, the dress featured an architectural silver embellishment that sculpted around her torso like flowing waves, creating a striking contrast against the deep, plunging neckline. The bold design accentuated her curves and exuded futuristic vibes.
