Ming Lee Simmons Turns Heads in Daring Cutout Dress & Hidden Heels at amfAR Gala Los Angeles With Kimora Lee Simmons

Ming Lee Simmons was one of many stars to grace the red carpet at the 2022 amfAR Gala held last night in Los Angeles at the Pacific Design Center. She was joined by her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons, and wowed in a sleek black gown.

Ming Lee’s look consisted of a floor-length dress with a halter-style neckline and a geometric bodice. Just below the top was a myriad of cut-outs that also took an angular shape, followed by ruching that brought the waist of the garment inwards making for a sharper silhouette.

Beyond her dress, the 22-year-old model accessorized simply, stringing on silver and gold bracelets, rings, and diamond studs for good measure. Her brown hair, like her makeup and jewelry, was plainly straightened and parted down the middle, cascading down Simmons’ shoulder.

Ming Lee is following in the fashion footsteps of her mom, Kimora Lee Simmons.
