Partnered with her shimmering footwear, the television personality donned a coordinating white dress with silver accents. The floor-length gown featured a plunging neckline and fringe trim throughout that offered the garment movement. Large crystalized appliques were seen dotted across the white fabric that made up the dress. Adding to the shine, King wore a slew of silver jewelry around her neck and on her lobes.
