One of the best-dressed stars of the night was definitely Moonlight actress Naomie Harris. Clad in Calvin Klein By Appointment, her white strapless sequin dress was the perfect fusion of femininity and edgy through its sweetheart neckline and squared long train. She finished off her look with yellow suede heels from Calvin Klein.
