Ariana Madix Goes Vintage in a Floral Sue Wong Dress on The Tonight Show
Ariana Madix wears a vintage Sue Wong floral dress on The Tonight Show, pairing 2000s glamour with Femme LA heels and sultry beauty.
Ariana Madix gave her latest late-night look a decidedly vintage twist, stepping onto The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in a gorgeous black Sue Wong dress that brought serious 2000s femme fatale energy.
Madix, the Love Island USA host and Vanderpump Rules alum, has been having a major fashion moment during her promotional appearances, and this look felt like a particularly fun departure from modern red-carpet dressing.
The TV presenter wore a black silk Sue Wong midi dress from the 2000s, featuring delicate spaghetti straps and a flattering V-shaped neckline. What really made the piece stand out, though, were its intricate floral details. Pink floral bead appliqués were scattered across the dress, while black beaded vines added a darker, more dramatic element throughout.
The dimensional flowers continued down the skirt, creating texture against the smooth black silk. A tiered handkerchief hem, made from layered silk panels, added movement to the midi silhouette and gave the vintage piece an almost bohemian-meets-Hollywood finish.
Madix leaned fully into the look's femme fatale mood with Femme LA peep-toe slipper heels. Her jewelry was kept relatively understated, with a shimmering necklace, coordinating bracelet and silver earrings providing just enough sparkle.
The beauty styling completed the throwback glamour. Makeup artist Afton Williams gave Madix shadowy eyes, bold brows and a deep muted lip, while hairstylist Erickson Arrunategui created loose curls with a defined side part. Stylist Jordan Dorso curated the overall look.
The choice of Sue Wong was especially fitting for the current revival of archival fashion. With designers and celebrities increasingly looking back to the 1990s and 2000s, Madix's vintage floral dress feels fresh without losing its original character.
And honestly, the combination of black silk, tiny pink flowers, glossy heels and sultry makeup makes this one of Madix's more memorable promotional looks.
