Monique Lhuillier’s fans didn’t have to wait long to stock their closets with her festive fall creations. The designer made five of her red carpet-worthy looks — including a diaphanous black dress festooned with gold medallions — available to buy immediately after her show.

Good news for A-list clients like Emma Stone, Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift, who all turn to Lhuillier for dramatic dresses (and a trendsetting pale-pink wedding gown, in the case of Witherspoon).

The famed bridal designer, who lives in LA with her husband and two children, played with color and embellishment in her latest ready-to-wear collection. Here, she reveals to Alexa the fragrances, frocks and flowers that inspire her.
