Ariana DeBose took spring dressing to new heights — literally — while at Alice + Olivia‘s 20th anniversary celebration.

The Oscar-winning actress posed at the brand’s floral step-and-repeat in an equally blossoming outfit. DeBose’s ensemble, designed by Stacey Bendet, featured Alice + Olivia’s $550 double-breasted blazer and $275 pintucked shorts, each in a bright shade of canary yellow. For a seasonal twist, the rolled-sleeved jacket and high-waisted shorts were both covered in a delicate yellow and green floral print and layered over a V-necked white top. Completing DeBose’s outfit was a set of gold chain-link drop earrings.

The star also took the opportunity to expertly bust several dance moves — as seen on FN‘s Instagram — while wearing a towering set of white platform sandals. DeBose’s satin style included white silky uppers with platform soles, buckled ankle and toe straps. Completing the set were tall block heels totaling at least 5 inches in height, giving her ensemble a dynamic, warm weather-worthy height boost.

“Yes! The answer is yes!” DeBose resoundingly told press when asked if she was ready for the “A + O” prom.
