The gown included elements of fabric draping, along with a high-low skirt for an added contemporary edge. Opting to keep the gown the centerpiece of her attire, Bailey accessorized her look with shimmering silver statement earrings.
In a second look for the “Motown Christmas” special, Bailey embraced old school glamour, wearing a sleeveless shimmering gold gown with a semi-sheer skirt. The sleeveless dress featured a high neckline and allover sequins, which faded down the skirt. The look was evocative of the classic stylings of glamorous Motown girl groups from the 1960s.
A third look worn by Bailey served to also complement Robinson’s attire. The singer and actress wore a strapless deep green gown with allover sequins and shimmering elements. The dress featured a sweetheart neckline with a thigh-high slit.
Bailey’s accessories also complemented the dress. The singer wore a pair of emerald statement earrings to coordinate the look. Robinson also sported an emerald hue, wearing a monochrome suit with a silk, button-down shirt and red pocket square for his attire.
NBC’s “A Motown Christmas” celebrates the holiday season with a mix of classic Christmas and yuletide songs along with Motown hits. Tunes like “Last Christmas,” “Superstition,” and “My Girl” will all feature during the special, along with more songs performed by Bailey, Robinson, Andra Day, Jamie Foxx, Jordin Sparks and more. “A Motown Christmas” airs Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on NBC.
