While talking to Extra, Cabello, 27, said her custom Jane Wade clutch — which was originally meant to be a purse (probably the one with straps) until it broke — was how she interpreted the dress code of “The Garden of Time” and “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme.

Cabello wasn’t the only one on the carpet dedicated to channeling the natural elements.
