Quinta Brunson Evokes Old Hollywood Glamour in Rahul Mishra Gown With Sheer Ombre Details at 2024 EMA Awards Gala

“Abbott Elementary” creator, writer and star Quinta Brunson was honored for her show’s commitment to sustainability at the Environmental Media Association Awards in Los Angeles last Saturday.

For the special occasion, Brunson opted for a champagne Rahul Mishra gown adorned with beaded golden snakes and sequins. The full-length, strapless gown featured a sweetheart neckline, accented with intricate snakeskin-like patterned detailing beneath the bust. The dress’s shimmering fabric featured an ombre design, complemented by sheer streaks cascading through the skirt. Her looked was styled by Jessica Paster.
