Cheryl Hines wore a sleeveless black sequin gown with cutout sides and pointed heels to the Starry Starry Night Gala in Palm Desert.
At the 3rd Annual Starry Starry Night Gala in Palm Desert on January 31, Cheryl Hines showed up glowing—more reflective than glammed out, in the good way. Her dress caught every bit of overhead lighting without drowning in flash. Black sequins. Full length. Fitted but not clinging. A shimmering pencil shape.
The defining detail? Side cutouts, slashed horizontally at the ribs, connecting the deep-plunging neckline to the cinched waist by barely-there seams. Barely visible from some angles. All there from others. The neckline ran deep—a bold V softened by the curve of her open hairstyle, pin-straight with a flick of face-framing volume. Draped perfectly at shoulder-length.
In hand, a simple textured black clutch. No jewel clutch, no silver hard case, just something functional that didn’t need approval. Pointed black suede pumps completed the look, tone-matching the dress without competing with the fabric’s shine. The smile often outshined the sequins—and that’s saying something.
It was part low-key shimmer, part throwback mischief—and entirely hers.
