The two dissected runway looks and came out in favor of minaudi��res, color blocking and the merits of tucking one���s hair inside one���s coat. Equally inspired: Katrina Bradley, Sue Fang, Ariana de Pro, Nicole Walch, Jessica Pineda, and Lee Ann Roberts.

While Hooker may be best known for dressing a certain princess, she was equally ecstatic to be outfitting local beauty Candice Romo, wife of Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Guests jockeyed to be custom fit for a bespoke coat by the affable designer ��� the claret-red Harris tweed was a crowd favorite. Getting wrapped up: Beverly Nichols, Peggy Sewell, Lisa Troutt, Lee Ann White, Laura Whitley, and Kelli Finglass.

Silver and I used to twirl about in the same social stratosphere during my tenure on the Left Coast in the late ���90s. He���s the fashion world���s equivalent of Lenny Kravitz ��� endlessly and effortlessly cool. Oh-so chill: Marina B CEO Paul Lubetsky, Korey Williams, Stacy Girard, Jenny Kirtland, and Sheryl Maas.

These days, however, Beckham is recognized for her endeavors in the fashion industry rather than her ability to dance in sky-high platforms. During a quick trip to Dallas, the star touched down at Neiman Marcus Downtown to give fans a peek at her spring collection during an exclusive runway show. For the finale, Beckham chatted during a Q&A session hosted by Tina Craig of Bag Snob fame. Singing her praises: Jessica OlssonNowitzki, Erin Mathews, Katy Boch, and Lynn McBee. Savannah Christian
