DRESSCODE: HAVE A BALL!

There's little we adore more than a good reason to get decked out. Holiday fêtes, cocktail soirées, and gift exchanges are nothing more than an excuse to break out the season's sequins and Swarovski. Surely you'll find yourself the night's belle of the ball, whether you're an Alexis or a Krystle. It's our Dynasty, so have a little fun!
