Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Slays in Maroon Gown

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley sat front row at Ralph Lauren’s NYFW show on Wednesday—and, naturally, her bold maroon-hued look totally stole the focus.

The 29-year-old model’s velvety ankle-length gown featured a plunging neckline and strappy open back, which Huntington-Whiteley deftly dressed down with a pair of classic black boots. She paired the dress with a bold ruby-bearing choker and a small black bag with matching fringe. The newly engaged star (check out that rock!) chose to wear her hair in a defiant center part, showcasing her shoulder-length blonde waves.

Though the model’s gown is a bit reminiscent of a fancy set of drapes (the Queen’s drapes, maybe), it’s doubtful that a set of draperies has ever looked quite so elegant and fashion-forward.

Huntington-Whiteley’s fellow front-row pals were outfitted in mostly black ensembles, drawing even greater attention to the model’s jewel-toned look.

The verdict’s in: Rosie is certainly the belle of this ball.
