Britney looked absolutely stunning last night at the City of Hope gala to honor Halston CEO Ben Malka with the Spirit of Life Award in Los Angeles. Brit wore a gorgeous backless, sequined Halston gown and was joined by fiancé Jason Trawick.

I just adore everything about B's look, from her soft, warm makeup to her cascading curls to that dress!! But we also love you when you dress down, B. You're always absolutely flawless. "I love my jeans and my sweats," Brit recently told ELLE. "I'm really just a tomboy at heart. So it's really hard for me to be like Kim Kardashian and be makeup- and hair-ready every time I go out of my house. I'm not a believer in that, you know?" xx
