Gracing the star-studded event in style, EJ sported a pair of fall-ready black leather boots. Although they were hard to see over the hem of his jumpsuit, the television personality’s boots featured vinyl-like patent leather uppers, hence the glossy finish. The high-shine uppers transitioned into elongated squared-off toes that offered the footwear a unique touch.

The set was finished off with 2 to 3-inch stilettos that offered EJ a conservative boost. The footwear’s silhouette was vaguely Western-inspired and likely ankle-length. As we transition into fall, many celebrities have come to adopt more boot styles.

Going for a whimsical bohemian vibe, the socialite was outfitted in a dainty white lace jumpsuit by Alaïa. The striking garment was sleeveless and comprised of a high neckline and a form-fit that transitioned into flared trousers with a lettuce-style trim. The jumpsuit featured an array of lacy paneling mixed in alongside sheer sections that gave EJ’s look a daring effect.
