Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy brought architectural drama to Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood—her voluminous black mini dress was part flamenco, part futuristic flamethrower.
There’s a moment—just before the flash hits—when a look either collapses or crystallizes. Jenna Johnson Chmerkovskiy’s did the latter. At Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood event on August 7, 2025, held at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, the “Dancing with the Stars” alum stepped onto the red carpet in a black off-the-shoulder mini dress that felt like couture caught mid-twirl.
The dress, strapless and sculptural, featured dramatic volume around the hips—a silhouette that flirted with flamenco but landed somewhere closer to sci-fi flamethrower. It was a study in contrasts: soft fabric with hard lines, romantic neckline with kinetic energy. The black hue grounded the look, allowing its shape to take center stage.
She paired the dress with strappy black high-heeled sandals—minimalist, yes, but sharp enough to echo the dress’s architectural edge. Jewelry was nearly absent, save for a whisper of sparkle at the ears. Her hair was swept into a clean updo, and makeup stayed natural: dewy skin, nude lips, and a hint of contour. It was styling that respected the dress’s drama without competing with it.
Ally Evenson dialed up the minimalist drama—think crisp lines, noir polish, and a whisper of rebellion—at Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood soirée in Beverly Hills.
There’s something quietly radical about showing up to a red carpet in black and white. At Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood party on August 7, 2025, Ally Evenson did just that—eschewing sequins and spectacle for a look that whispered cool rather than screamed it. And yet, she turned heads.
Evenson, the Detroit-born singer-songwriter behind Blue Super Love , arrived at the Four Seasons Los Angeles in Beverly Hills clad in a sharply tailored white button-down shirt with three-quarter sleeves, tucked into cropped black trousers that skimmed just above the ankle. The silhouette was clean, the palette stark—an intentional nod to the kind of quiet confidence that’s becoming her signature both on stage and off.
Her slingback black pumps added a touch of retro polish, while the absence of overt accessories let the outfit breathe. No glitter, no gimmicks—just a crisp study in proportion and restraint. The lighting at the venue, soft and golden, caught the subtle sheen of her shirt’s fabric, giving the ensemble a gentle luminosity that played well against the evening’s more flamboyant looks.
Rain Spencer leaned into minimalist drama at Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood—her strapless black dress, anchored by a gold medallion, whispered quiet rebellion.
There’s a kind of elegance that doesn’t beg for attention—it earns it. Rain Spencer, arriving at the 2025 Variety Power of Young Hollywood event at the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, embodied that ethos with a look that was both sculptural and subdued.
Her strapless black dress was a study in restraint: no frills, no excess, just a clean silhouette punctuated by a single, gleaming gold circle at the bodice. It wasn’t flashy, but it was unforgettable. The circular detail—reminiscent of Brutalist architecture or a Calder mobile—gave the ensemble a sense of kinetic tension, as if the dress were balancing on the edge of movement.
