Becky G looked incredible in a yellow and black Cavalli gown with a cool oblique cutout. Because the Treslúce founder's favorite color is yellow, it was only natural that her nails, done by @PattyGamez nails, matched her dress.
Makeup artist Deanna Paley provided a subtle glam that included long lashes to complete the look.
Sarah Hyland
