Jordan Alexander in Christopher John Rogers

Instead of his usual palette of electric hues and larger-than-life shapes, Rogers teamed up with GG’s lead actress Jordan Alexander to create a more muted, fitted fashion moment. The bald baddie shined in Rogers’ look which featured a nude bustier with green boning and a layered wrapped skirt.
