Williams opted for multi-toned accessories with a set of gold rings and a silver-toned pendant necklace, and a sparkling black pair of hoops. She kept her light brown hair in a sleek style with soft curls at the ends. She complimented her hairstyle with minimal makeup that featured a smokey eye and a nude lip.

The singer completed the look by slipping into a pair of red boots. The suede heels featured a fitted silhouette that was finished with a pointed toe. The boots brought height to the look with a red platform sole. The back of the heels was hidden but most likely featured a block heel.

Williams sat front row alongside other stars like Julianne Hough and Nicky Hilton as they watched the designer debut her newest collection.

This is the first time that Williams has made a fashion week appearance since the early 2010s. The last time we saw the actress was when she announced the launch of her very own HSN fashion line in June of 2019.
