Nina Dobrev recently showed up in a sequin dress from Prada at Messika’s 20th Anniversary Cocktail at The Frick Collection, looking like an absolute icon. The actor wore a black number covered in glossy sequins, the kind that shine in every direction when the flash hits. It had a bold V-neckline, a cinched waist, and a mid‑calf length that made it classy without losing its cool and elegant points.
Nina Dobrev goes all-black for Messika in sequin dress from Prada
For Messika’s 20th Anniversary Cocktail on October 28, Nina Dobrev didn’t need a lot to look great — her sequin dress from Prada was the highlight. Her stylist, Bailey Moon, kept it tight and simple, adding loads of diamonds from Messika to celebrate the high jewelry maison. Her chunky chainlink necklace, earrings to match, a bracelet, and a big statement ring got everyone looking twice. It was all sparkle, but still somehow not over the top.
Dobrev’s glam team went for the kind of look that lets the dress do the talking. Jennifer Yepez slicked her hair back into a clean middle‑part bun, while Kale Teter gave her that soft‑glow makeup you will try to recreate. They went with blushed cheeks, warm-toned lids, and a nude lip. The finishing touch was a pair of black heels that made the whole thing look effortless.
This isn’t the first time Dobrev’s teamed up with Messika. She has worn their diamonds everywhere, from the Oscars to Cannes and, more recently, to the brand’s Paris Fashion Week show in September. Keeping the look easy but still shining just enough to grab everyone’s attention is kind of her thing now.
Messika’s 20th Anniversary Cocktail brought out a lot of names — Orlando Bloom, Demi Lovato, and more — but Nina Dobrev and her sequin dress from Prada stood out for the right reasons. Founder Valérie Messika built the brand to make diamonds feel modern as well as wearable, and Dobrev nailed that idea perfectly. Simple, shiny, and confident. She was a masterclass in how to keep it less dramatic and more stylish.
