Gala Glamour in Adrianna Papell

Gown: Adrianna Papell

Shoes: Jimmy Choo

The International Emmy Awards is my favorite annual event for gala glamour. This year, I went dressed in Adrianna Papell's Art Deco Beaded Blouson Gown in Champagne. Normally I would opt for a black gown but it was a nice change to go with this softer, glamorous look, and the taupe/pink color also went well with my skin tone. The fit was very flattering and I love the beaded scalloped pattern. This gown, like many of Adrianna Papell's dresses, are available in petite and regular sizes and comes in different colors such as Mint, Midnight or Black. You can find Adrianna Papell's gowns at Nordstrom, Macy's and Lord & Taylor.

Adrianna Papell for E! Live From The Red Carpet Design Unveils Winning Oscar Design

In September, the Adrianna Papell For E! Live From The Red Carpet launched a nationwide call-to-action, and invited designers to submit red carpet looks for the Spring 2012 collection. After a rigorous nomination process, the votes have been tallied. The Adrianna Papell Group along with E! Entertainment are thrilled to announce the winner of the first-ever “Adrianna Papell For E! Live From The Red Carpet Design Contest”--Natalie Palter.

Natalie's winning design was unveiled to millions of viewers nationwide on E!'s Academy Awards Pre-Show. Her dress was chosen amongst 700 design submissions.

A freshman fashion design student at Marist College in New York, Natalie noted “I have been designing ever since I could hold a crayon. I wanted to design a dress that would not only flatter any woman's body, but also make her feel like red carpet royalty.” Inspired by Grecian goddesses, the gorgeous blue gown delicately drapes the female form, while crystal baguettes accent the décolletage and natural waist.

Jaynee Berkman, President of Adrianna Papell states, “We look forward to incorporating the winning design into the Adrianna Papell For E! Live From The Red Carpet collection. It complements our current style offerings and will be available at Lord & Taylor and other fine retailers beginning in June.”

Adrianna Papell dress

I love the Adrianna Papell dress on the right

Last month I attended the launch of the Hailey Logan dress collection and the 30th Anniversary of Adrianna Papell. The Hailey Logan collection is named after Jaynee Berkman's 10-year old daughter and is the junior line to Adrianna Papell. The Hailey Logan line starts at a size 0, and is targeted toward teens to women in their early 20s. You can find the collection in Spring 2010 at retailers where Adrianna Papell is sold. The line is fun and youthful - the short cocktail dresses are actually the perfect length for me or anyone else that's petite. The line is perfect for any occasion - proms, weddings and charity events.

As I looked through all the Adrianna Papell dresses, I reminisced about the Adrianna Papell dresses I wore to my junior and senior proms. I have always been a fan of Adrianna Papell dresses, which are classic and timeless. I was very excited to be there for the 30th Anniversary.
