Monique Lhuillier S/S 2018 – Review
INSPIRED BY: The Edwardian era, with a nod to The Great Gatsby and a high-society garden party in the Hamptons. Think Big Bird meets Prom-Date Barbie on the red carpet at the MET Gala.
POP-CULTURE NOD: Gracy Kelly’s granddaughter, Charlotte Casiraghi of Monaco, meeting film-producer boyfriend Dimitri Rassam for a late-night negroni after sitting front row at the Saint Laurent show in Paris, discussing outfit coordination plans ahead of the annual Bal de Rose Gala in Monte Carlo.
WEAR IT TO: The New York City Ballet’s premier of Sleeping Beauty at the Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater.
FIRST READ: Strapless ball gowns with ostrich feather accents, a white mini dress with floral beaded applique, a flouncy babydoll dress with accordion pleats, and a clown-collar neckline stayed true to the brand’s penchant for serving up red-carpet ready feminine evening wear with a youthful edge, while chiffon dresses with pussycat bows and billowy sleeves – worn with shimmery ankle booties – were equally suited to day or night.
BEST LOOK: A white-and-yellow ball gown with an asymmetrical sweetheart neckline and full skirt, featuring an embellished diamante jewel belt with a front bow closure.
EYE-CATCHING ACCENTS: Intricate floral bouquet motifs on a strapless gown and midi-ankle boots, ostrich-feather skirts and capes.
COLOR WHEEL: Pink, silver, lilac, duck-egg blue, ivory, black, mint, champagne, rose gold, forest green, apricot, red, yellow.
