When talking about her outfit, Mühl said, “I’ve decided to wear a little two-piece. I have a little black blazer that’s kind of shorter, and then a longer skirt with a slit. It’s black. I have a lot of silver accessories, just a little cool vibe.” She was also seen rocking silver tooth gems along with her silver jewelry.
