Ensuring she stayed on theme down to the most minute of details, the Michigan-born star, who was born Melissa Viviane Jefferson, sported orange eyeshadow and blush, as well as an tangerine manicure. She rounded out her look with sheer orange gloves and a pair of sizable diamond cluster rings.
She was accompanied on the red carpet by her boyfriend Myke Wright, who cut a dapper figure in a black tuxedo.
