It was really moving to see Abraham Lincolns coatthe one he wore when he was assassinated, says Ryan.

Megs style is the epitome of understated laid-back cool, Kors tellsVogue.
She knows herself, and has edited her look to perfection throughout her career.
For Ryan, the feeling was mutual.

Hes all about this streamlined, breezy, American-chic [vibe].
And hes also really inspired by old school Hollywood glamour, and I love that, says Ryan.

Hes so fun and smart.
I learned that it took 800 hours to sew it, and over 1,000 sequin flowers were used.
Each of the flowers were made with dozens of these recycled sequins, in several different sizes and shapes.
They wrapped around the gown like a vine.
Ryans favorite part of the design was the sentiment and emotion behind it.
When I walked into the fitting, I could just feel how proud and happy he was.
As for how the superstar ended the night?
