Dallas socialites exhibit the art of fashion at Crystal Charity event

This year’s Crystal Charity Ball 10 Finest Dressed celebration did factors a minor in another way.

In its place of the classic luncheon and vogue demonstrate honoring a unique designer, generally held at Neiman Marcus downtown, the afternoon fundraiser celebrated its partnership with the basic Dallas office keep at its NorthPark area.

The celebration, rebranded Ten Greatest Dressed Women of all ages of Dallas and The Artwork of Trend, culminated in a seated Champagne tea that was initially set for the courtyard, but moved indoors thanks to rain.

But some things remained the identical, specifically honoring some of the city’s most philanthropic — and fashionable — women.

Trend demonstrate chair Lisa Cooley, Neiman Marcus president/main shopper officer David Goubert, and Neiman Marcus vice president/sector common manager Mary McGreevy welcomed the impeccably dressed crowd with a glowing (both wine and water) reception on the third ground, just before ushering anyone into the style exhibit.

This year’s honorees — Marybeth Conlon, Tiffany Divis, Jennifer Dix, Cate Ford, Cara French, Libby Hegi, Kim Hext, Karla McKinley, Amy Prestidge, and Kimberly Schlegel Whitman — took to the runway, with Hall of Fame honoree Mary Clare Finney executing the closing strut before a parade of drop fashions drew “oohs” and “ahhhs” from the attendees.

Supporters in the group included Sunie Solomon, Kelly Carter, Lindsay Ballotta, Lisa Troutt, Lynley McAnalley, Ciara Cooley, Brooke Davenport, Joan Schnitzer Levvy, Bianca Elise, Michelle Lobell, Kara Axley, Ashley Hunt, Bianca Allison, Kim McCue, Shannon Pettle, Debbie Brock, Kim Miller, Lynn McBee, and Pat Harloe.

Ordinarily regarded as the begin of autumn culture year in Dallas, Crystal Charity’s 10 Best Dressed was pushed a small afterwards this 12 months thanks to coronavirus (it was not held in 2020).

But the unbiased nonprofit’s grand finale, the Crystal Charity Ball, is even now set for December 4 at the Hilton Anatole.

Chaired by Leslie Diers, the ball is the two an chance for Dallasites to costume to the nines and a rationale to celebrate the impartial nonprofit’s beneficiaries.
