Naya Rivera’s elegant velvet dress by Donna Karan, worn at the Trevor Project’s TrevorLIVE LA event in Hollywood, was a refreshing change for the actress, often seen in daring, skin-baring outfits.

The annual TrevorLIVE event raises awareness and funds to support the Trevor Project’s vital work in crisis intervention and suicide prevention among LGBTQ youth, adding a meaningful backdrop to Rivera’s sophisticated look.

Judging from this sultry yet sophisticated look, Naya proves she doesn’t need to reveal much to stand out. She has enough confidence and stage presence to power up a whole country.

Her figure-hugging dress showed off her enviable curves, and she basked in the glow of her recent engagement to rapper Big Sean, who looked dapper in head-to-toe Burberry.

The Family Matters actress wore a brown jersey collage dress from Donna Karan’s Fall 2013 collection. The dress features long sleeves, crushed and smooth velvet, and sheer mesh panels.

Her hair was styled in retro glam curls and sparkled in stunning Neil Lane stud earrings. She finished her look with dramatic eye makeup, nude lips, and black ankle-strap sandals from Stuart Weitzman.

Naya wore Stuart Weitzman’s “Nudist” sandals, which feature adjustable ankle straps and goose bump nappa leather. You can buy them on Zappos. In August 2014, we also spotted Naya in Stuart Weitzman’s floral “Nouveau” pumps.

We saw the ivory version of these shoes on Diane Kruger at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Luncheon and on Jennifer Lawrence at the German premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
