Turning to her stylist Mimi Cuttrell for the occasion, the R.E.M Beauty founder settled on a sculptural leather look dress with bust dart detailing and a structured circular skirt, a garment not too dissimilar from what Polly Pocket used to rock in the 90s.

Ariana traded in her signature half-up-half-down hairstyle for a side-parted slicked back ballerina bun and accessorised with a pair of dainty diamond stud earrings, sheer black tights and set of pointed-toe pumps in the same brown shade as her dress.

For makeup, Ari called on her go-to makeup artist Michael Anthony to create an elegant look,  using all R.E.M Beauty products. Extended fluttery lashes emphasised Ariana’s already animated-looking eyes while a lick of subtle brown-toned lip gloss tied the whole look together.
