Blake paired it with statement earrings and used a denim jacket to layer the dress. The dress looked subtle but very fascinating with the multiple colors and minimal accessories.

For the bottoms, Blake went for Loubutins and carried a star shaped clutch on hand. One of the things we can take note of is the diamond ponytail Blake did along with the outfit. This cut-out dress flaunts her toned physique and abs while the pretty pink color brings out her charming personality altogether. The shiny dress was sure to grab all the attention without doing much.
