A glittering debut monograph celebrating twenty years of glamorous cocktail dresses, red carpet ready frocks, and evening gowns by internationally renowned American fashion designer Pamella Roland.

No Hollywood red carpet is ever without an A-list celebrity wearing one of Pamella Roland's signature megawatt dresses that never fail to catch the light of a camera. Since the American fashion designer's debut eveningwear couture collection at New York Fashion Week in 2002, Roland has been a perennial favourite for women and celebrities alike who aren’t afraid of being in the spotlight.

Each page of this dazzling debut book features the opulent, sophisticated, and undeniably feminine cocktail dresses, evening gowns, and luxurious women's resort wear that have made Roland a mainstay in the closets of everyone from Hollywood starlets to customers outside the fashion centres of New York and Los Angeles.

Colourful, eye-catching photographs reveal Roland’s design process and creation of her gowns, including sketches, inspirational reference material, snapshots of memorable runway and red-carpet moments, and the debut of her new fragrance.

Accompanying interviews and anecdotes from her devoted celebrity fans and close friends include words from Vanessa Williams, Paris Hilton, Mindy Kaling, Kim Cattrall, Debra Messing, Chrissy Teigen, Gigi Hadid, Halle Berry, Rosie Perez, and Eva Longoria, among others.

A tribute to the bedazzled, embroidered, and glitzy dresses worn by Hollywood elite, New York socialites, and women across the globe, this volume is a beautiful addition to the libraries of fashion, design, and style lovers.
