Ashley Graham’s event appearance at the Daytime Beauty Awards distilled modern minimalism into a single gesture — a sleeveless black dress, a daring slit, and unshakable confidence.
Ashley Graham knows how to turn a carpet into a runway — and at the 7th Daytime Beauty Awards, she did it with nothing more than black precision.
The look is stripped down yet commanding: a sleeveless black dress, cut close to the body, then sliced open with a thigh-high slit that redefines movement. The belt at the waist interrupts the monochrome field, adding structure and a subtle nod to utilitarian chic.
The dress itself appears crafted from a sleek, non-textured fabric — its simplicity is its strength. The silhouette is direct, almost architectural, with the slit acting as both punctuation and provocation. It’s a study in restraint: no sequins, no embroidery, just line, cut, and proportion.
Her wide belt anchors the look, preventing the slit from veering into excess. Black high-heeled sandals extend the vertical line, elongating the frame. The absence of heavy jewelry keeps the focus on silhouette rather than sparkle — a deliberate choice that reads as editorial rather than ornamental.
