Because saying it once or twice is not enough. Her skintight ensemble featured long sleeves, a sculpted waist, matching built-in boots, and a full leopard head positioned dramatically across her chest and shoulder like just another accessory. Her body looked TF good in the bold print, and her melanin was on glow. The supermodel kept everything else simple to let the leopard speak (or roar) for itself. She rocked a sleek bald cut with gold accessories we loved, like her lip-shaped earrings. And her makeup was sun-kissed and natural.

The legend arrived in a flowing midnight blue-black gown with a ruched bodice, pleated, fringe-like chiffon details, and dramatic bell sleeves. Every detail of her gown oozed over-the-top style while being just enough. Angela styled her hair with a sleek low ponytail that showed off her signature cheekbones and diamond necklace. For beauty, she chose a soft smoky eye and a glossy nude lip. Her polished hair and makeup were everything, elevating her French fashion moment even more.
