Her long, blonde locks were parted to the side, and effortlessly flowed down past her shoulders in elegant curls.
The gold medalist opted for minimal accessories to allow the ensemble to be the main focal point, and added a pair of mini earrings as well as a gold watch on her left wrist.
Lindsey easily carried a sleek, gold purse with a chained strap in her hand to hold a few items she needed during the event.
Her makeup was classically done, and comprised of a layer of mascara to her lashes as well as a thin strip of black eyeliner.
A light blush was added to her cheekbones for a radiant glow while a reddish tint was worn on her lips for a finishing touch.

She was effortlessly chic wearing a pair of pastel pink trousers as well as a matching blazer that she chose to leave unbuttoned.
The retired skier added a plain, black top underneath and additionally slipped into a pair of open-toed, black heels.
Vonn held a stylish, black purse in her hand and allowed her blonde hair to flow down in natural, light waves.
During the night, she later crossed paths with singer, Janelle Monae, who made a statement in a white, halter-styled top and loose-fitting, black pants.

She took to her main Instagram page at the time to share a snap of herself inside a hospital and expressed in the caption that she hoped the surgery would be ‘a big step to help me long term…’
While talking to SKI Magazine in September, she opened up about life after retirement – including her recovery. ‘I knew it was going to be a challenge when I retired from racing.’
‘I was hoping maybe it would be less of a challenge than it has been, but I have no regrets. Right now I’m working to get a pain-free happy lifestyle.’
