She also accessorized the look with a unique headpiece by Philip Treacy, which featured an abstract design with sweeping lace details.

In the past, the "Die with a Smile" singer has opted for Treacy's unique headpieces for some of her iconic looks, including the bedazzled lobster headpiece she wore during the final London date of her Monster Ball tour in 2010 and the black avant-garde headpiece she wore during her Jazz & Piano Las Vegas shows.
