Drescher isn’t the only one that opted for shimmering crystals. Billy Porter, who also appeared at the event, wore a pair of custom Christian Louboutin boots. Those shoes were studded with larger crystals than Drescher’s heels.

While Savannah Guthrie didn’t wear crystals, she did select heeled sandals from Dolce & Gabbana.
