- 1. The Belle of the Ball Says It All With BLING Keshia L. Richmond Photographs by Jeffrey Bucari rom season is here and designers are making statements by bringing on the bling. Whether you are looking for gowns inspired by royalty, lingerie, exotic elegance, diva glam or anything in between, bling begets brilliance in this season’s hottest designs. The bling factor has its variations so look for bling-encrusted pendants, bustiers that burst with bling, or all-over bejeweled brilliance. For dresses that are low on the bling factor, set it off with a jeweled tiara, choker or earrings.
