Although Quannah took everyone’s breath away in a dress by Prabal Gurung, what really sealed the deal was her custom necklace by Antelope Women Designs. Lenny, the designer behind Antelope Women Designs, stated that “When creating this piece I was inspired by our native communities. Each beaded tipi upon her necklace represents her communities love and support. This was also my first quilled piece, I was like.. ‘what the heck, let’s use all the medicine!!’”

You know in this house we always love to see a #rewearthat moment and Emma Stone did not disappoint. This Louis Vuitton piece was one that she wore for her wedding after-party in the summer of 2020. However Emma was not the only one to rewear Louis Vuitton. In fact each person that Louis Vuitton had invited were dressed in archival pieces or previously worn look with a twist inspired by circular creativity. This included Emma Chamberlin, Hoyeon, Cynthia Erivo, Eileen Gu, Sophie Turner, Joe Jonas, Gemma Chan, Phoebe Dynevor, Chloe Grace Moretz, Eve Jobs, Nicolas Ghesquiere, and Renate Reinsve.
