And when Chanel hosts the event, it’s an absolute guarantee the best-dressed list would not disappoint. And the attendees were really bringing it in a fashion sense of the word.The cocktail and evening attire was presented by feminine evening dresses, short jackets, Chanel clutches and extensive range of jewelry.

One of Chanel’s iconic colors, black, was dominating in the fashion department of the event. But some colors were also noticed that evening. Sloan Barnett rocked an eye-catching Chanel feather skirt with beaded top. Vanessa Getty stepped out in a perfect silver lace structured dress. Mary Beth Shimmon was wearing spectacular Chanel combination of black cocktail dress with Chanel pearls, Chanel bracelet and clutch. Allison Spear picked the classy look but made it playful by adding fishnets. Dr. Carolyn Chang looked stunning in a long lace creation. Jennifer Walske had on unique black vintage Chanel dress which reminded us what Chanel dresses women for life.
