Collette Dinnigan's Feminine Designs
Beautiful Beading
Dinnigan loves the subtle effect of matte beading, which generates texture without adding wild shine.
Collette Dinnigan scallop dress with beads, $4,950; collettedinnigan.com for stores
Best Dressed
Dinnigan’s palette is mostly a melange of soft, dusky tints, chosen because they flatter the skin, mix and match easily with brighter shades, and layer well to create interest.
Collette Dinnigan silk and lace beaded dress, $4,090; collettedinnigan.com for stores
Strap Happy
A bit of shoe sparkle keeps the look light from head to toe.

Fragrance Favorite
Dinnigan loves light, floral, ultra-feminine scents, whether they’re in the perfume she wears or the candles she burns daily in both her home and office.

Burn for Your Buck
