Just a few days earlier, Nancy wore a bronze taffeta gown to mark her new role as an executive producer. It had wide lapels, puffed sleeves and a fitted skirt that flared into ruffles at the hem. She added a gold leaf necklace and wore her hair in finger waves. The bronze gown had a warmer tone than the blue gown she wore to the awards night.
