Mckenna Grace wore a black strapless dress with chain detailing and floral accents for a Steven Simione fashion photoshoot in January 2026.
Shot by Steven Simione ahead of the WWD Style Awards, Mckenna Grace stands against a bare white wall, the neutrality giving her outfit all the oxygen. A strapless black dress, cut with smooth precision, drapes into a soft handkerchief hem. Across the bodice runs a gold chain–looped, decorative, almost like borrowed jewelry woven into structure. Two white rosettes sit at the hips, perched on small black bows; ironic, nearly playful gestures against the otherwise sleek silhouette.
The texture looks matte, a quiet fabric that drinks light rather than reflects it. Black platform heels–simple but hefty–anchor her stance. The styling is restrained, but there’s old-world edge here, a kind of punk-Chanel tension. Hair styled in soft blonde waves with curtain bangs, makeup balanced: coral-peach lips, bare lids, defined lash. Nothing excessive. Just deliberate contrasts–a practiced nonchalance.
No sequins, no complex layering. Just that color glowing against the cream background. She paired it with metallic gold strappy heels, bare arms, slicked-back hair. The makeup was controlled: a dusty-rose lip, subtle bronze around the eyes, a finish almost matte. Jewelry stayed minimal–small hoops and a thin bracelet. It looked intentional, not empty. The sort of restraint that reads as real confidence.
She wore black pointed heels, minimal jewelry, a single fine pendant at her throat. Hair pulled back, glossy, exact. Makeup focused on balance – softly smoked eyes and a mauve-rose lip. There’s quiet tension in her stance, something steady that cuts through the beige backdrop. She doesn’t pose; she anchors.
