The “Cleveland!” singer wore a gorgeous plaid off-the-shoulder mini dress by SIMKHAI ($595) from the designer’s fall 2026 women’s collection. The dress, which features a draped bodice with ruching throughout the waist, is made up of a gorgeous black, brown and white color scheme and is currently available for preorder.
