Alix Earle Redefines Elegance in Backless Gucci Gown at Women’s Care Gala

The Kering Foundation Caring for Women Dinner 2026 took place in New York on September 9, where Alix Earle appeared in a liquid-silver floor-length Gucci gown. The dress was fully embellished with thousands of sequins and featured a high halter neckline. Its column-like silhouette hugged her figure to a floor-sweeping hemline, while metallic reflections produced a high-shine effect from every angle.

What the Gucci gown revealed from behind

The rear design formed the focal point: the garment ran almost completely backless. Deep side cutouts extended low across the waistline, exposing nearly the entire back. Thin diagonal cross-straps crossed the open expanse, offering minimal structural support while accentuating a plunging scoop that descended below the lower back.

Earle styled her long blonde hair in a voluminous blowout with a middle part. Loose curls cascaded over her shoulders and down her back, introducing textured contrast against the gown’s rigid, metallic surface. Her makeup included a warm bronzed glow, a matte berry lip, winged eyeliner, and fluttery lashes. Stylist Mimi Cuttrell selected nearly nonexistent accessories to maintain visual emphasis on the dress alone.

Her appearance on “The Tonight Show” two days earlier

On the September 9 episode of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Earle wore a vintage John Paul Gaultier dress. That ensemble consisted of a red halterneck bodice, a black sheath skirt, and long sleeves made from the same black fabric. She paired the look with black pointed-toe shoes.

This public appearance followed her interview on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” which occurred days before the Kering Foundation event. The “Dancing With The Stars” alum attended the dinner as part of the star-studded gathering honoring women’s care initiatives.
