Monique Lhuillier sent a collection of 15 dresses down the runway for her spring 2014 bridal collection full of clean shapes and beautiful fabrics. As she told editors, her inspiration was to fit the needs of every bride, “from City Hall to the altar, whether there are hundreds of guests or just two.” The result was a broad but streamlined range, complete with sleeves and strapless, colors and ivory, gowns, and minis. Those shorter hemlines also served a second function—showing off the designer’s beautiful bridal shoes collection. Yet, while she played with new silhouettes and materials, like jacquard, the dresses were still classic Lhuillier, as show-stopping ballgowns covered in lace and tulle stole the show.

The Academy Awards are not only a huge night for those nominated, but also for the designers who dress them! During New York Fashion Week, we asked designers to tell us which gowns from their fall 2013 collections they’d love to see on the Oscars’ red carpet, and all of them were quick to give us their top picks. “I’m sure any designer would love to have a great Oscars moment!” Christian Siriano told InStyle.com when we caught up with him backstage at his show. “There are so many actresses that I love and support.” Indeed! Click through to see the exact gowns Siriano, plus (from left to right) Zac Posen, Jenny PackhamMonique Lhuillier, Badgley Mischka, and more picked—and keep your eyes on our red carpet coverage, starting this Sunday at 6 pm, to see what Jessica Chastain, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, and all the other nominees choose to wear for their big night!

Runway Looks We Love: Monique Lhuillier

Feb 10, 2013 @ 4:22 pm

Two things are guaranteed at a Monique Lhuillier runway show: Chic separates for day and dramatic gowns for evening. The designer delivered on both for her fall collection, which she told showgowers “played off undulating lines, art deco motifs, and intensely rich jewel tones such as deep malachite green, oxblood, and amethyst.” After a series of winter white cable knits and structured toppers, came those beaded, lace and, tulle red carpet-ready gowns the label has become known for, many of which would be just as much at home on the Oscars red carpet as they were on the Monique Lhuillier runway. See our favorite looks in the gallery!

Emerald Green: Monique Lhuillier Embraces the Color of the Year!

Pantone’s Color of the Year is lush Emerald Green, and no one is loving it more than Monique Lhuillier! The designer debuted her fall 2013 collection last night, and it boasted no less than six looks in varying shades of green, with red carpet-ready embellishments like sequins, pleating, and embroidery. And according to the celebrity favorite, it was all coincidental. “I was looking at a malachite stone, and I was so mesmerized by the green that I wanted to incorporate it into a lot of things. And I loved it so much—and I have actually loved it for several years—that I used it as a set backdrop, too,” said Lhuillier, who also featured the same deep jade in her jewelry and shoe collections this season. “When we were doing fittings, I had read in Women’s Wear Daily that Pantone said it was the Color of the Year, so I thought, ‘Well, that works out beautifully.’” Indeed it did!

Jan 14, 2013 @ 2:15 pm

Julianne Hough did double dress duty at last night’s Golden Globe Awards! The dancer-turned-actress attended the show in a gorgeous cream Monique Lhuillier ballgown with gold embellishments, and a unique one-of-a-kind earcuff made of a fossilized carob beetle! After the show, Hough changed into a sleeker, more party-ready number by Jenny Packham for the InStyle after-party. Hough flaunted her figure in the curve skimming blush-hued gown, which featured silk panels and exaggerated shoulders. However, her dress didn’t last past the dance floor! “I love to dance regardless of how expensive a dress may be… You can’t hold me down!!!” Hough tweeted along with a picture of her ripped dress. Tell us: which look is your favorite? Vote in the poll below!
