Usher embraced dandyism with a classic three-piece tuxedo accented by formal touches like a white scarf, silver chain draped at the vest and a cane. Goicoechea, meanwhile, wore a fitted all-white suit look on top contrasted by black bell bottom pants and a black sash at the waist that trailed the floor. A large white flower adorned the corner of her jacket.

Usher’s look was rounded out by a pair of glossy reptilian embossed loafers with tassels adorning the upper. The slim silhouette featured a classic almond toe and low block heel. Contributing a subtle splash of color to his look, the shoes were accented by a pair of ribbed socks in a hue of royal purple in a nod to the Ralph Lauren line he wore. Goicoechea, meanwhile, wore a pair black pointed-toe shoes to complement her ensemble.
