In addition to the Oscar winner, Apple was also joined at the event by her dad and brother Moses Martin, 18. All four wore Valentino designs, Vogue reported.
Apple sported a custom gown incorporating six dégradé tiers of silk plissé chiffon, as well as a black sash and bow at the waist, the magazine said, adding that the garment took Valentino creative director Alessandro Michele‘s atelier 750 hours to make. Apple paired the look with a pair of matching blue strappy sandals, also from the fashion house.
