Society revealed the designers of their gowns and suits in their Instagram posts. These snaps might give you ideas on what or who to wear for your next formal affair or evening gala.

John, the son of Ann Ong, designed her beautiful sheer olive green gown. She also wore her own jewelry creations. From the black onyx statement choker that adorned her neck to her salvage wood minaudière with a goldfish closure, Ann’s accessories completed her elegant look for the night.
Nikki Huang arrived at the ball wearing a jumpsuit Chris Nick designed. The beautiful jumpsuit blends deep blue and purple hues to create a royalty-look for the young Huang.
