In typical fashion, Sabrina walked the red carpet in a sexy mid-century-inspired dress that recalled other legendary stars’ looks of the past.

As you might recall, she wore a Bob Mackie gown to the VMAs last year. The same dress was previously worn by Madonna in 1991. The inspiration for Madonna’s dress was Marilyn Monroe.

Sabrina once again appeared to reference a celeb that came before her on the red carpet Sunday night in her JW Anderson gown.

Sabrina’s backless baby blue dress with a sparkling pendant draped across her back recalled Shirley MacLaine’s memorable look in the 1964 film What a Way to Go!
