The anti-bullying activist and writer wore a strapless gown with frilly layers on the bottom that perfectly matched the lines of her loose, wavy updo.
She kept her makeup low-key with black eyeliner and coral lipstick, and accessorized with gold heels that peeked out from underneath her dress.
The 42-year-old is now a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, where back in October she wrote a piece about fearing someone would dress up like her for Halloween.
