Alix Earle stepped up her fashion game and glam each night of Miami Art Basel. On Friday, Dec. 6, her stylist pulled from luxury fashion label Balmain’s latest collection and the content creator looked absolutely dazzling as she partied the night away with bff, roommate and artist Kristin Konefal, fellow internet sensation Jake Shane and sister Ashtin Earle in her favorite city.

The 23-year-old, who celebrates her birthday next month, donned the most beautiful sequined blue mini dress including a high turtle neckline and figure-skimming silhouette. The designer number also featured a daring naked body silhouette illusion, adding some of the New Jersey native’s party girl vibe roots to the look.

Earle, who is dating Miami Dolphins player Braxton Berrios accessorized with sky-high pointed-toe stilettos, a massive bedazzled blue statement ring and dangly diamond link earrings. Her long blonde-brown locks were tossed up into a tousled bun with a few face-framing pieces left loose. The Hot Mess With Alix Earle podcast host obviously had to bring in beauty entrepreneur, makeup guru, friend and mentor Patrick Ta who gave the University of Miami graduate the most stunning full-glam look including a flawless base, feathered brows, dark, dramatic lashes, matte taupe eyeshadow and the most perfect plump glossy nude lip.
