Vera Farmiga in Naeem Khan | 2011 UNICEF Snowflake Ball

Vera Farmiga arrived on the blue carpet on Tuesday night at NYC’s Cipriani 42nd Street for UNICEF’s 8th Annual Snowflake Ball wearing a gown by Naeem Khan.

The “Higher Ground” actress enjoyed food, cocktails, and a performance while donned in a short sleeve embroidered top that was belted at the waist before a floor-length white skirt tiered with pleated ruffles.

It was a lovely look for her, and I’m glad she wore her hair up but loose. It added a low-maintenance vibe to an ensemble that seemed so effortlessly chic.

I would have preferred that she wore the matching short necklace from the runway, but her accessories were well-balanced with the dress. The double layered necklace picked up the topaz color of the embroidery as well as her metallic gold sandals. She finished things off with a maxi skirt-matching white clutch.
