She wore the custom-designed dress, named Pink Illusion, at a concert in Texas. It symbolizes the intersection of music and fashion.

Do Long said he and his team spent time researching Uchis's style. "I was impressed with her appearance in a giant martini glass at a previous event. When I started working on the dress, I set requirements for myself, including light-catching elements, sparkle, and creating an illusion on stage," he said.
According to the designer, working remotely with Uchis's team required professionalism and attention to detail. During a fitting, Uchis's team requested that the skirt be longer than the original design. Do Long's team immediately made the adjustment to meet the singer's performance schedule.
