Disco balls, often associated with the 1970s, actually trace back to the 1920s. Originally known as 'mirror balls,' they were used in nightclubs and dance halls to create dazzling light effects.

The actor opted for an eye-catching gold gown adorned with reflective appliqués for a disco ball effect. The silhouette of the dress was quite simple, featuring no sleeves and a halter neck.
