But at some point, the sample dress was sort of hanging by a thread, and she toldEntertainment Tonightthat she had to ask someone for a knife "because one of the beading things started coming undone" right before her photo op. When she pulled at it, all the beads started falling off. "We just sliced it a little."

The rest of her look stayed intact, and that included her jewelry, which was designed by Kendra Scott. Her collection of bling included the lab-grown Elisa Drop Earrings and custom Elisa rings stacked with three Marilyn bands.

A source told PEOPLE in February that Earle and Brady, who was previously married to Gisele Bündchen, were "hooking up." However, Earle also opened up about seeing Berrios, a wide receiver for the Houston Texans, for thefirst time after their breakup.

"It's weird when you go from someone being like your best friend to being a stranger in the corner of the room," she said, likely referring to the Palm Tree Pre-Party they both attended in February. "So that was tough. And by tough, I mean terrible."

However, Earle has been thriving and channeling her single girl era through her fashion. She divided the internet with a recent outfit of hers that featured a$48,000 shearling numberbyGucci. She's also full steam ahead on anew reality show with her family, which she announced in January.

"From your FYP to your TV: Alix Earle, her family, and friends will star in an unscripted series dropping later this year on Netflix," the caption of the Jan. 21Instagrampost read.
