In photos shared to Ayesha’s Instagram page on Sunday, the basketball player’s wife donned a pleather black maxi dress with risky geometric cutouts. The dress featured square-shaped cups with a sharp bodice made of shiny fabric. The bodice was followed by a fitted midsection and tapered skirt that pooled at Curry’s feet, the sturdy fabric folding in on itself.
Curry accessorized with a layered cross necklace, chunky silver hoops, and a golden bangle that further dressed up the outfit.
The ensemble is a stark departure from what we know to be the little black dress. A versatile closet staple across the decades, the little black dress is noted for its classic style and chic sensibility. Once a uniform for the working class, the little black dress was reclaimed by high society in the 1920s after Coco Chanel designed an iconic ink-colored sheath dress marketed toward the rich.
Barely peeking out from under the hem of her dress, Curry can be seen wearing dark shoes with peep-toe detailing that allowed the star to show off her perfect pedicure.
