Luisana also wore cream shoes by Lonte. Michael was dressed in Hugo Boss.
Michael’s Mum, Amber said "I wanted the environment to feel like old time Hollywood - maybe like I imagine a party after the Oscars in the forties. We made the room totally white with white silk walls, which couches, white framed mirrors, white wide screen TV’s and little mirrored tables everywhere."
