Sourced from Tab Vintage, the one-shoulder frock features multicolored sequin embroidery and a harlequin pattern. Lively accessorized with Lorraine Schwartz rings and earrings, completing her look with metallic sandals.

In 2023, Spears released her tell-all memoir, “The Woman in Me,” which details her journey to stardom and her struggle to break free from a long-standing conservatorship. The book is now set to be made into a biopic directed by “Wicked” helmer John M. Chu. Marc Platt, best known for his work on “Legally Blonde” and “La La Land” will produce.

“Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with Marc Platt. He’s always made my favorite movies… stay tuned,” Spears wrote on X.
