Supermodel Ashley Graham just sported what might be our favorite look of Paris Fashion Week. The mom of three, who shares her sons Isaac, Roman and Malachi with husband Justin Ervin, donned a super flattering custom-designed gown from Clio Peppiatt. She attended the Business of Fashion 500 Class of 2023 event at the Shangri-La Hotel in Paris on Sept. 30.

The black floor-length number featured gorgeous red hand-beaded dangly chain details all over, along with spaghetti straps, a square neckline and a figure-hugging silhouette that perfectly accentuated the 2016 SI Swimsuit cover star’s curves.

“A little commotion for the dress 💃🏻custom @cliopeppiatt,” the 35-year-old captioned an Instagram carousel of photos taken by photographer Lucy Helena, which she shared with her 21.5 million followers on Oct. 1.

The look was styled by fashion guru Emily Evans, who paired the dress with black stilettos from Italian brand Le Silla. Graham’s long brown locks were super shiny and perfectly straightened by Dom Seeley. Makeup artist Kale Teter opted for a subtle glam moment, including a sheer wash of shimmer on the eyes, rosy blush, feathered brows and a matte mauve lip, in order to keep the drama on the the sultry cocktail attire.

“Divine ! ❤️,” the official Clio Peppiatt IG account commented, to which Graham responded, “thank for this masterpiece!!!!”

“La Vie en Rouge 🥀🥀🥀,” the London-based luxury fashion label wrote under a post of the magnificent outfit. 

“The floor length gown is adorned with chandelier crystal drops on a bed of thousands of hand sewn beads, gradienting from ox blood red to deep burgundy ♥️,” they explained alongside another photo of the Nebraska native.
