Kelsea Ballerini arrived in New York City for the screening of her short film “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” on Thursday, taking a vibrant approach to cocktail dressing in a long-sleeved purple minidress by Versace.
The dress had a cutout on the bodice, and was paired with sheer tights and black stiletto heels.
Ballerini typically wears her hair down, but for this particular occasion, opted for a tight bun.
“Rolling Up the Welcome Mat” is a short film Ballerini wrote and directed featuring songs from her EP, which is accompanied by her re-released EP “Rolling Up the Welcome Mat (For Good).” Both projects were inspired by her divorce from Australian singer-songwriter Morgan Evans.
