This collection felt like a love letter to Hollywood, a lineup of gowns that belong on the red carpet, each more breathtaking than the last. It’s easy to imagine young starlets stealing these looks straight off the runway, though seasoned ladies could pull them off with just as much aplomb. The drama is there, but it never feels overdone or forced; it’s polished, intentional, and utterly romantic.
