To accessorize, Vera added Hari Indian jewelry and a bonnet to create an edgy feel for the runway.

Vera has designed many dresses for Oprah over the years, but her favorite is this gold dress that she wore to the 2005 Oscars®. The dress was made of tulle and embroidered in metallic thread. "And it was constructed, it was built, it was shaped around my body," Oprah says. "You couldn't tell me I wasn't cute!"
Wedding dress by Vera Wang

While Vera has designed plenty of beautiful gowns for the red carpet, it is her exquisite, one-of-a-kind wedding gowns that turned Vera Wang into a household name. Oprah says that when she first visited Vera Wang's boutique in New York with a friend who was getting married, she was completely wowed by the display. "There are racks and racks of the most beautiful wedding gowns. You want to just weep and name them all!"

Vera says this simple style can be worn with flip-flops at a beach wedding or dressed up with a heel for a chic look. The inner slip of the dress is completely sequined so that you can see a hint of sparkle through the dress.

It's classic, and always beautiful—Vera's strapless gowns. Vera says the strapless design brings the attention up to the neck and face, while the mermaid shape created in satin-faced organza creates a beautiful silhouette.
