Nina Dobrev and Shaun White matched in all-black style for the 56th Annual Gold Medal Gala in New York yesterday night. White was honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the gala.
To the event, Dobrev wore a black velvet one-shoulder dress from Galvan London, styled by Kate Young. The fitted dress featured a high slit up one leg. She added large sparkly hoop earrings as well as a bracelet for her accessories.
The “Vampire Diaries” alum added a pair of black Jimmy Choo strappy sandals to complete the look. The $950 shoes featured criss-cross straps across the toes and an ankle strap, as well as a thin heel that reached 4.7 inches.
