The bespoke gown, crafted by 40 artisans over 3,490 hours, featured a corset and hoop skirt adorned with a floral motif made from sequins and over half a million crystals. Lopez completed the baroque-inspired look with towering gold platform heels, an intricate updo with a tiara, and simple yet elegant jewellery, including a gold heart pendant, diamond stud earrings, and pearl bracelets.

Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, and with hair by Jesus Guerrero and makeup by Scott Barnes, Lopez’s look mirrored the regal attire of Queen Charlotte, played by Golda Rosheuvel on the hit Netflix series. Later in the evening, she changed into a green off-the-shoulder gown with a dramatic train.
