Academy Award-Winning actress Octavia Spencer recently attended amfAR’s 3rd Annual Inspiration Gala at Milk Studios in Los Angeles, California. Octavia walked the red carpet in a custom-made black and beige embroidered peplum cocktail dress by Tadashi Shoji, classic black peep-toe pumps, and an adorable little black chain-strap purse. It’s no surprise that Tadashi is a fave designer of hers–the fit and styles are beyond elegant.
