(17 Sep 2015) RED-CARPET OPULENCE AT MARCHESA

Walking into the Marchesa show at the St. Regis Hotel off Fifth Avenue, a guest in a cocktail dress balanced a Martini with her purse. And why not? The Marchesa show is all about luxury.

Designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig never shy away from full-on glamour _ after all, they're aiming squarely for the red carpet _ and their show was full of opulent gowns heavy on tulle, feathers, sequins, jeweled beading, lace and embroidery.

The theme, according to the show notes, was an aviary garden, or "a botanical menagerie of caged birds and cascading florals placed under a cascading midnight sky."

Also making an appearance at Wednesday's (17 SEP 2015) show: Marchesa's new footwear line, with shoes made of materials like alligator and python leathers, some with Swarovski crystals or laser cut detailing.

It's no surprise that celebrities are fans of Marchesa, and guests at the show included Bette Midler (sitting next to Chapman's husband, Harvey Weinstein), Christina Hendricks of "Mad Men," Alyssa Milano and AnnaSophia Robb, among others.

"Oh it is just so romantic," said Hendricks of the ballgowns. "I think it is every girl's fantasy."

Robb said the clothes made her feel like she's "in a fairytale."

"It is just everything I would dream of if I was a little kid. What would I want to wear? Sparkles, lace, silk..." Robb continued.

When asked if she was thinking about wearing a Marchesa gown for her upcoming nuptials, dancer turned actress Julianne Hough laughed and said, "I honestly haven't even started any of that yet. Just enjoying the engagement process."
