Roberto Cavalli designed the sleeveless dress worn by the Italian model. It had thin straps that created triangle cutouts across her collarbone, a bikini-style top, and two more cutouts at her waist.

The gown's skirt was equally daring, as it was made from a black lace with strips of darker fabric on top to create the effect of zebra stripes.

The striking white garment had a mock collar and thin slit above the neckline, as well as a large keyhole cutout across the Brazilian model's back. Layla Atelier designed the outfit.

Her form-fitting look, designed by Giambattista Valli, first catches your eye with its sleeveless crop top and off-the-shoulder ruffles. Then you notice its sheer, mermaid-style skirt that matches the top silhouette.

Of course, the Italian model accessorized with diamond jewelry.

The English actor wore a minidress by Valentino. It had a mesh bodice covered in strategically-placed crystals, and a bold skirt covered from top to bottom in white feathers.

Her black dress — which was crafted from chiffon and silk — had wide sleeves and a plunging neckline, both of which served as a backdrop to her vibrant green gloves.

The actor's skirt was even more daring, as it was see-through with a layer of orange velvet lining the hem. She wore the dress with thigh-high boots and Gucci jewels.
