“In my mind, Monique Lhuillier
(323.655.1088) is your one-stop shop. Not only is Monique one of the front-runners in red-carpet fashion, she now has the most gorgeous shoes as well! Her store on Melrose Place is divine.”
“The Christian Louboutin
(310.247.9300) store is synonymous with celebrities, glamour and the red carpet. They have every shape, color and style imaginable. Don’t forget your pedicure and your gel foot petals for comfort!”
“Judith Leiber
(available at Neiman Marcus, 310.550.5900) is the queen of clutches! I always like to choose the clutch last, after the shoes, jewelry and dress [are] decided.”
“Decades
(323.655.1960) is becoming a staple on the L.A. boutique circuit. The secret, however, is the upstairs room of this vintage store where all the red-carpet pieces are housed.”
“Located on La Cienega, Neil Lane
(310.275.5015) is what red carpet dreams are made of. All over the wall are pictures of celebs winning Oscars in Neil’s fabulous diamonds. … They have an amazing collection of vintage and one-off pieces.”
