Issa’s look was curated by her trusted stylist Wouri Vice. The Marc Bouwer velvet gown took centre stage, featuring structured shoulders adorned with an oversized bow at the neckline. The bold and sharp shoulders of the piece were juxtaposed with the feminine touch of a keyhole cutout.
To complete her ensemble, Issa paired the gown with a mini fuchsia clutch and bejewelled hot pink Voyetté shoes that added that oomph. Her perfectly manicured long nails featured a subtle hint of pink. Of course, no Barbie look is complete without some sparkle, and Chopard jewels added that extra dazzle. Issa’s makeup showcased a bold pink cut crease eye, complementing her high ponytail and enhancing her overall radiance.
