Lori Harvey Soars in LaQuan Smith Cutouts and Disco Heels at Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala 2023
Lori Harvey brought dynamic edge to Manhattan for the Fifteen Percent Pledge Gala.
Harvey arrived for the occasion at the New York Public Library in New York City on Saturday night, wearing a dynamic black turtleneck dress by LaQuan Smith. Hailing from Smith’s fall 2022 collection — and memorably worn by Julia Fox to open its runway show — the piece featured a stretchy bodycon fit with long sleeves. The dress’ viral curved bodice-framing cutouts finished the piece with a sultry, futuristic edge. Harvey also layered her outfit with two $2,300 Elsa Peretti Bone Cuff bracelets in sterling silver for an armored effect.
When it came to footwear, Harvey strapped into a towering pair of platform sandals by Tom Ford. Her $1,250 Disco style featured thick black 1.3-inch soles, topped by curved toe straps crafted from smooth black velvet. Matching black velvet straps wrapped and buckled around her ankles for a slick finish. The pair’s dynamic base was completed with Ford’s signature hourglass 5.5-inch “Clessidra” heel for a towering boost.
