Joan Smalls' outfit was a sculptural dress made from black leaf-shaped appliqués linked together to create an almost see-through chainmail-style look.
The glossy, leaflike pieces were covered in irregular, weblike patterns, leaving intentional gaps that showcased her golden skin even as the dress clung to her frame in a flattering manner.
It featured a halter neckline that showed off her toned back and a plunging neck that tastefully revealed her chest.
Although the dress was floor length, a significant portion of her legs was exposed due to the dramatic slit that ran from her hips down.
Underneath the dress, she wore black high-waist thongs, further adding to the allure of the already sultry dress.
Smalls tied the look together with a pair of black sandal heels, a gold choker necklace, and some statement rings.

Smalls slipped into another black dress to celebrate Seventy One gin in New York.
Her outfit was a bold, fashion-forward gown with structured lines and sultry details. Made from shiny satin-like black fabric, it featured a structured corset-style bodice that mimicked a bustier. Its waist was cinched, giving an hourglass silhouette.
A row of covered buttons ran straight down the front, adding a tailored, almost military touch. It also had two small flap pockets at the hips, further emphasizing the military vibe.
The dress was cut very short, stopping just below her hips. Attached to its bottom hem were two black garter-style straps with silver details, adding a bold, provocative element.
Its sleeves were long and fitted, while its neckline was high and modest, balancing out the sultry lower half.
