Nicole Richie was the ultimate Golden Girl at the 30th Anniversary Carousel of Hope Ball. While her usual look is more laid back and bohemian, she sparkled from head to toe in glittering gold Reem Acra gown and bronze clutch from Vionnet Boutique, $245. Nothing catches the light quite like sequins. Less is more, which is why I also love the open back on her dress and simple ponytail cascade.
If you love the look of gold, Elizabeth Fillmore's dreamy strapless satin Rhapsody gown is draped in gold but minus the glitter. At bottom, a white and gold sequin gown from Badgley Mischka for the daring bride walks the line between ball gown and bridal.
