Mara’s gown was sheer and studded with delicate floral appliqués on the bodice, cap sleeves and train. A high-waisted lace panty was seen underneath. For glamour, Mara wore minimal makeup and tied her hair in a sleek bun.
As Mara posed on the red carpet, Phoenix quickly bent down to smooth out her train. He made sure the edge of the upholstery lay painstakingly flat against the carpet as she watched, laughing.
