Coco Jones went back to the early 2000s in her Dolce & Gabbana dress for the 19th annual DKMS Gala on Tuesday night in New York City.
The Grammy Award-winning singer wore a look from the Italian luxury fashion house’s 2003 collection, featuring sensual lace-up elements evocative of corsetry and bondage in equal measure. The burgundy satin gown was juxtaposed by the black laces running throughout the dress.

Lace-up detailing was featured running down the front of the bodice, at the hips, the neckline and skirt in sinuous patterning. The sensual look was further augmented by sheer fabric on the skirt as well, refining fabric contrast and creating a small, flowing train at the back.
The sleeveless gown featured multiple slim straps connected to the bodice, and Jones accentuated the color palette with a pair of strappy burgundy sandal heels to complete the look. As far as accessories went, Jones went the minimalist route, keeping her dress the focal point of her attire.

When it came to glam, the singer’s hair was styled in a straight look and worn down. Her makeup included bold brows, lined eyes and a glossy lip to complete the look. Jones’ DKMS Gala look resonated with the ongoing rise of Y2K styles.
Early 2000s trends have seen a resurgence over the last few years, thanks in part to Gen Z’s fascination with and repurposing of such wardrobe pieces as ballet flats, low-rise denim and more. Jones’ 2003 Dolce & Gabbana dress demonstrates how Y2K trends aren’t just for street style — those same looks are quickly matriculating to the red carpet.
