Kardashian put a sexy spin on a suit, ditching an undershirt, instead pairing the satin-lapel jacket with a black lace bra.
She also opted to accessorize with black leather gloves, and pointed black heels, with her black hair slicked back.
Instead of wearing her sunglasses on the red carpet, Kardashian chose to carry them, so she could flaunt her smoky eye look with the rest of her glowy glam.
Before taking the stage, Barker opted for a more traditional look, sporting a simple black undershirt and matching bowtie, as well as a pair of classic black dress shoes.
