Yara Shahidi arrived in Los Angeles for the premiere of “Extrapolations” taking a creatively minimalistic approach to red-carpet dressing.
For the premiere of her new television series, the actress wore a draped corset dress with a white bodice and a deconstructed beige skirt from Simkhai. The dress is called the Jones Draped Corset Dress, and was fashioned from a technical cocktail crepe, with a trench collar draping a poplin corset bodice. Shahidi coordinated the look with matte nude pointed-toe pumps.
