Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking at this point, but velvet in the dead of summer? Now that, my friends, is groundbreaking indeed. Demi Lovato [1] pioneered the trend when she rocked the hell out of a velvet minidress for date night with her fiancé, Max Ehrich [2]. While enjoying a dinner out at Nobu Malibu, the newly engaged singer wore a blush-pink Alexandre Vauthier number with a plunging neckline and ruched fitted skirt similar to that of the white Retrofête cocktail dress [3] she wore when Max popped the big question last week. She's definitely got that bride-to-be glow, if we do say so ourselves!
As for Demi's accessories, they were on-freakin'-point for the occasion, thanks to stylist Siena Montesano. Gold hoop earrings by designer Jennifer Fisher? Check. Shiny, iridescent bucket bag by Etro? Check. Princess-worthy Amina Muaddi Gilda sandals? Biiiig check. She finished the look with a gold ring and patterned face mask — and her enormous engagement ring [4], of course.
