She explained that the custom Jane Wade purse was intended to embody the theme of the event, The Garden of Time, and the theme of Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion. She expressed that she feels it's about impermanence, things gradually fading away over time, and finding beauty in that process.

The motif was furthered by Cabello's evening wear, which included a Ludovic de Saint Sernin gown covered in 250,000 Swarovski crystals, which stand for impermanence and dissolution. Her wet-looking hair and makeup, which were applied by Sophia Sinot using L'Oréal Paris products, were chosen to emphasize the idea of impermanence and give her overall look an ethereal feel. She also added gold heels by Gianvito Rossi and jewelry from Ring Concierge to finish off her glitzy look.

Rather, she exposes its simplicity, highlighting its attraction to change and deterioration, echoing the key elements of the occasion.
