Aoki Lee Simmons, the 21-year-old model, recently captured the spotlight with her stunning appearance at a gala event, shortly after her vacation photos with Vittorio Assaf, 65, drew significant attention online.
Dressed in a pale pink silk gown from Mango, priced at $620, Simmons looked absolutely radiant. The dress featured a draped neckline, spaghetti straps, and a unique feather detail that ran down the left side of the gown, adding a touch of glamour and sophistication to her look. Her slim figure was perfectly flattered by the light pink silk gown, which she accessorized with black boots, a black bag, diamond stud earrings, and a delicate gold necklace.
Simmons wore the stunning dress for the annual Barristers’ Ball at Pier Sixty in New York City, hosted by Columbia Law School. This gala event was an opportunity for her to mingle with her peers and other prominent figures in the legal field. She shared several photos of the event on her Instagram account, captioning them “Columbia Law Gala 2024 w my soon to be lawyer @molly.martinez.m”, and disabling comments on the post.
The gala appearance followed closely on the heels of Simmons’ vacation with restaurateur Vittorio Assaf, which stirred a significant amount of controversy online. Photos of the duo indulging in PDA on the beaches of St. Barts were widely shared, leading to a flurry of reactions from fans and followers.
Russell Simmons, Aoki’s father, expressed his “unconditional love” for his daughter in a post shortly after the photos surfaced, while her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons, cryptically stated that she was “on my last nerve right now!” amidst the public scrutiny. Both Aoki and Assaf have yet to directly address the photos or discuss their relationship status.
The public reactions were not all positive, with fans expressing concern over both the photos and a subsequent video featuring Simmons seemingly slurring her words while leaving the luxurious island. The significant age gap between Simmons and Assaf has also been a topic of discussion, with many expressing their concerns and reservations online.
