Monique Lhuillier

The Who: Stylist Brad Goreski and Bridge Moynahan sat with Lydia Hearst, but the flashbulbs really flew in the direction of “Nashville” star Connie Britton.

The What: Never one to shy away from le drama, Lhuillier embraced it fully with eye catching jewel tones like emeralds and rubies, tons of tulle, bordello level fringe and rich graphics in suiting and trumpet gowns. Dresses with drop waists, feathers and embroidery reflected an art-deco inspiration for the collection.

T
he Highlight: A strapless black gown that looked like golden fireworks exploded on the fabric was both opulent and classic while a scarlet lace dress with exposed tulle and a cascading hemline was a real red alert.

The Takeaway: From Nashville to New York, any of Lluillier’s gowns will travel.
