The night before the Golden Globes, a slew of stars arrived at the 9th annual Art of Elysium HEAVEN Gala hosted by Vivienne Westwood and Andreas Kronthaler.
Bruce and Demi’s two oldest daughters were in attendance, and while their shoes weren’t visible beneath their sweeping floor-length gowns, the Willis sisters still looked glamorous as ever on the red carpet.
Other stars who impressed on the red carpet included Zendaya in a crisp white suit paired with nude Christian Louboutin ‘So Kate’ pumps, Ashley Tisdale in a sheer Davidson Zanine dress with snakeskin Kenneth Cole ‘Ciera’ sandals, and Jamie Chung in a golden Vivienne Westwood gown complemented by red Jimmy Choo heels.

The gown features a low V-neckline, cap sleeves, and a corset-style lace-up bodice. From the natural waistline, the fabric expands outward before falling to the floor with princess-like elegance.

She added a silky black clutch, pointed fingernails, mismatched earrings, and dark eyelashes to her glam-punk look. Her short black hair was tousled up on one side, and the effect was bordering on a pin-up girl.

Scout LaRue Willis, 22, opted for a timeless look at the event, choosing a minimalist color palette that allowed her gown’s striking, skin-baring design to take center stage.

Scout and Rumer are known for making fashionable displays, and what better place to turn up the volume than at an event hosted by the legendary fashion Dame Vivienne Westwood?
While we think both ladies deserve credit for their ensembles, we must give Rumer the win for her gorgeous patterned gown. What’s your opinion? Who do you think chose the better dress for the event?
