Emmy Rossum sparkled in a sequined Naven design at the Water Projects Ripple Effect benefit. She wore a sapphire blue mini-dress with a boat neckline and long sleeves. The frock was fitted and flattered her figure.

Her hair was styled in an elegant updo with volume in front. The makeup was flawless in a neutral palette with strong brows.
