Madix continued the nod to femme fatale styling with her Femme LA peep-toe slipper heels. Jewelry for the former reality TV star was mostly minimal, save for a shimmering necklace, coordinated bracelet and a pair of silver earrings.

As for glam, Madix’s makeup got the femme fatale memo as well, with shadowy eyes, bold brows and deep muted lips by artist Afton Williams. Madix’s hair was coiffed with a side part and set in loose curls by stylist Erickson Arrunategui. The TV presenter’s look was curated by stylist Jordan Dorso.
Madix is the latest star to turn to the 2000s for her promotional tour wardrobe. While the “Just in Time” Broadway star put a contemporary femme fatale spin on her Sue Wong dress, the look nevertheless served as a reminder of the current ubiquity of runway and designer pieces from ’90s and 2000s.
