I’m wild for a redhead, especially for a girl who comes to fittings already dressed in a Zac Posen accordion dress. Although this gown was light-as-air chiffon, I wanted to celebrate Christina's sensational body with a perfectly fitted gown. The controversial feathers added glamour to her personal whimsy.
There’s nothing more exciting than getting dressed up and going to the opera to see my friend and collaborator Anna Netrebko. I love how structured and glamorous these two muses look: certainly a Charles James moment!
I’ve been working with Glenn over the years. She is one of the most charming artists to work with in the studio. She is an incredible performer; she can impersonate different characters in the blink of an eye. I was very proud we were able to pair this emerald green gown with a custom matching tuxedo blazer. It gave the look the needed edge and confidence.
Gwyneth is wonderful. She oozes star quality and extreme elegance. She saw this dress about a week before the Oscars. One of my favorite gowns and proudest red carpet moments. I vividly remember at the pre-Oscars party, when she came down the red carpet; the whole evening was magical.
This was Jessica’s first major red carpet debut. It was a custom couture piece accessorized by two of Hollywood’s greatest actors, Sean Penn and Brad Pitt. The texture and color intertwine perfectly, and this moment defined the beginning of her incredible fashion journey.
Lena is a dear friend, and I used to be her babysitter in high school. I knew then how talented she was and that she was going to be a huge star. Her mother and I still think this is her best red carpet moment to date. Many more to come!
This silk jersey red-passion dress is from my third collection. Being able to dress Natalie fulfilled my ongoing obsession with Hollywood creations of the golden years. People love her the same way Judy Garland was loved.
Oprah is divine and a hero. I’m always very inspired by powerful, intelligent women. Simple, sophisticated and sparkly.
Naomi looks sensational in this oxblood satin back drape. She perfectly embodies the essence of the gown: Hollywood nostalgia and sharp architectural futurism. She is covered in long sleeves, but she still looks drop-dead sexy!
Uma is one of the most beautiful women in the world and a very dear friend. I wanted to create an iconic, powerful and glamorous moment with her. We had a blast that night, and she stole the show. She is American royalty.
