It's All in The Details

Easily the best Nicole Ritchie has ever looked:  the reality star dazzled at the recent Carousel of Hope Ball in an intricately beaded Reem Acra gown, accessorized with a wrist full of bangles. The ornate gown perfectly complimented Ritchie’s post-pregnancy curves while not overpowering her.

So who is Reem Acra?  Renowned for her ability to bring the feel of royalty to modern dress, Acra has been passionate about fabric and design her entire life.  While studying at the University of Beirut, she was discovered by a fashion editor who was taken by her dress, made from one of her mother’s tablecloths.  Acra studied in Paris and New York, travelled the world, and started her own bridal line in 1997.  She launched a ready-to-wear collection in spring 2008.

A hallmark of Reem Acra’s work is her ornate beadwork and embroidery, which demonstrates an amazing eye to detail.  Ritchie’s dress is a perfect example of Reem Acra’s luxurious apparel.

Reem Acra counts Angelina Jolie, Olivia Wilde, Ali Larter (at right in a Reem Acra gown), Jennifer Lopez and Ugly Betty star Becki Newton amongst her fans.
