Clarkson’s garment was a turtleneck long-sleeve velour style in black and white featuring a lengthy train that trailed far behind her as she traversed the carpet, hiding her shoes. The collaborative garment featured three distinct white stripes that climbed the length of the sleeves, an Adidas staple, along with the athletic brand’s logo which sat smack dab in the middle of the bodice. The lengthy dress is reminiscent of velour tracksuits that ruled the 2000s thanks to the fabric, high neckline and striping.
