The gown was crafted with a cinched waist for added silhouette definition. All over the dress were crystal embellishments and sequin detailing. An embroidered diamond shaped pattern was featured on the sleeves, bodice, and top half of the skirt.

The ensemble carried a whimsical and feminine effect with contemporary design and detailing. Along with the dress, Fanning wore shoes courtesy of Le Silla. She accessorized with jewelry pieces from the Cartier vaults.
