The Odyssey actress wore a white LEIN Romy dress, whose soft draping and fluid silhouette gave it an unmistakable Grecian feel. It was beautifully understated, allowing the focus to remain on the event itself.

In this case, the white dress carried far greater significance than a seasonal trend or a dress code. Unlike the annual Michael Rubin White Party, the colour symbolised solidarity with women affected by uterine fibroids.

Senator Angela Alsobrooks, the United States Senator for Maryland, explained the meaning behind the evening on X, writing: “We wore white tonight in solidarity with all the women who couldn’t because of the pain and hell they have silently suffered from uterine fibroids. I was honored to accept the Blossom Award at The White Dress Project’s Night in White Gala alongside my friend, Lupita Nyong’o.”

It’s a reminder that fashion can carry meaning beyond aesthetics. Here, the simplicity of the white dress allowed the message behind the event to take centre stage.

Lupita completed the look with brown satin sandals and delicate gold Jenny Bird jewellery.

Stylist: Micaela Erlanger.
