Originally, I wanted to wear the Oscar during the ceremony and the Berta for the after-party. But after going back a few times for tailoring, I switched it around, she told the publication.

Tiesto, meanwhile, was suited and booted in a tailored Tom Ford suit and bow-tie. He had produced a song titled A Million Years for his new wife Annika, that was played at their reception.
