A navy lace gown with cutouts and sheer panels — Candice Swanepoel’s late-night NYFW exit proves event appearances can double as front row fashion moments.
Candice Swanepoel knows how to make an exit. At 2AM, leaving the exclusive Mert & Marcus 71 Gin party during NYFW, the supermodel turned a sidewalk into a runway moment.
Her look: a navy evening gown that fused delicacy with daring. Intricate lace detailing traced the bodice and hem, while sheer panels revealed flashes of skin in motion. Side cutouts and a backless design, held by ribbon-like straps, gave the silhouette an architectural edge. A thigh-high slit added drama, elongating her frame with every step.
Accessories were pared back to let the gown command attention. A small black clutch and strappy heels grounded the look, while her hair — long, blonde, and softly waved — softened the gown’s sharp geometry. Makeup was luminous and restrained, the kind of finish that reads as effortless at close to dawn.
