Banks, styled by Erin Walsh, who has also worked with the likes of Selena Gomez, stepped onto the red carpet in a shimmering silver dress by LaPointe. The sleeveless number featured scalloped sequins that glistened under the lights. The dress, which hit just at the knee, boasted a halter neckline with subtle draping, adding a touch of elegance to the overall look.

While the dress was statement in it’s own right, Banks’ choice of footwear added the perfect finishing touch. She opted for a pair of black patent leather pointed-toe heels, with a modest heel height of approximately 3-4 inches. The classic silhouette of the heels provided a timeless contrast to the bold sparkle of her dress. Styled with sheer black tights, the heels exuded sophistication, grounding the outfit in a sleek, polished aesthetic.
