Jennette McCurdy Channels the ’80s in Sequin Bustier Top & 5-Inch Heels at Time 100 Next Gala

Jennette McCurdy attended the Time 100 Next Gala at Second Floor in New York City on Oct. 25. The former Nickelodeon star was one of this year’s honorees for her bestselling book “I’m Glad My Mom Died.”

For the event, the author wore a pink sequin tube top that featured ruched detailing. She paired the sparkling top with a satin cream high-low skirt that had an outline flower pattern. The two-piece set is from the designer brand Azzi & Osta. This floral design was part of their Series 8 ready-to-wear collection, which was inspired by the ’80s glamour and vibrant colors.
