Chrissy Teigen and her husband, John Legend, attended the City Harvest Presents The 2024 Gala: Magic Of Motown on Wednesday evening, April 10. The event took place at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City.

This year’s gala, hosted by Taye Diggs, featured a live auction, dance party, and special recognitions for John Legend and Alex Cohen. The event raised enough funds to provide 10 million meals to New Yorkers in need.
Among the notable attendees were Busy Philipps, Richard Gere and his wife Alejandra Silva, Jane Krakowski, Tayshia Adams, Ubah Hassan and her boyfriend Oliver Dachsel, Yaya DaCosta, and Millie Peartree.
Makes Bold Fashion Move in Sheer Nina Ricci Leopard Dress
I like how Chrissy Teigen always manages to stir up conversation, whether it’s online or on the red carpet. In my opinion, her outfit for the charity ball this week was a perfect example.
While her fashion choices may not always be everyone’s cup of tea, others, including myself, appreciate her on-trend style and fearless approach to expressing herself through her outfits.

For this event, the 38-year-old American model and TV personality embraced the sheer dressing trend, which isn’t necessarily to my taste. Still, I admire her ability to incorporate multiple fashion elements into one look.
She effortlessly combined sheer fabric, coquette bows, and a nostalgic print for that Y2K twist, showcasing her bold personality.
On the red carpet, Chrissy wore a daring $1,615 maxi gown by French fashion designer Nina Ricci. The bold design left little to the imagination. You can purchase her leopard-print silk maxi dress at Farfetch.
One notable decision she made was to go braless, daringly freeing her nipples to amp up the sexiness. While the outfit isn’t exactly my type, I admire her confidence in pulling off such a bold look.

What I particularly love about the Cravings founder’s daring semi-sheer ensemble is the throwback leopard print, adding a hint of retro charm.
I appreciate the meticulous attention to detail on Chrissy’s see-through gown, particularly the fashionable accents at the shoulders.

The spaghetti straps and oversized long black satin bows on each shoulder extended down her arms and waistline, adding a playful yet sophisticated touch. Crafted from silk, the gown featured draped detailing and an open back that gracefully cascaded down to the floor.
Although the hem of her attire concealed her footwear choice, its sheer fabric offered a glimpse of her matching black open-toed strappy platform heels that complemented her outfit and elevated her stature.
Gold Chunky Accessories and Finishing Touches
Given the boldness of her outfit, I anticipated Chrissy to opt for simple jewelry, perhaps a delicate necklace.
However, the Chrissy & Dave Dine Out host surprised me with chunky statement gold bangles and matching gold-tone velvet sculptural clip earrings from Saint Laurent.

Chrissy Teigen completed her red carpet look with a sleek black Tyler Ellis bag and a chocolate brown manicure.
Her brunette locks were styled into a chic updo, with wisps delicately framing her face. For makeup, she highlighted her features with dark eyeshadow and a touch of peachy blush.
Date Night at the Red Carpet With Husband John Legend
Her husband, John Legend, accompanied Chrissy Teigen at the event. I appreciate the 45-year-old American singer’s attention to detail in coordinating his outfit with his wife’s, opting for an all-black ensemble.
John exuded elegance in a black button-up shirt layered beneath a sharp, traditional double-breasted black suit.

The sophistication of his attire was heightened by flashy dark gold floral appliqué detailing embroidered on the chest, echoing the animalistic vibe of Chrissy’s outfit.
Completing his look, he sported a neatly trimmed beard to refine his overall appearance.
