Donning a rainbow of gowns and suits, this year’s Glitterball goers followed the yellow brick road in the most stylish manner. The deadCenter fundraiser prompted attendees to sport their best Oz-inspired attire—and a crowd of creatives never disappoints. The spectacle benefited from several clever costuming collaborations: deadCenter Executive Director Amy Janes was styled by Sarah Beth Moore in shimmering layers of gold, yellow and emerald. Her ensemble was topped off with an Emerald City-like crown, crafted in the shape of the OKC skyline, by prop superstar Mike Walsh. Lestari Kusumawardani, styled by Robert Herrera, rocked a perfectly “good” pale pink ballgown. The swoon-worthy look was completed with sparkling accents: a towering crown and dainty wand (for casting benevolent spells, of course). 405 Magazine Editor Julie Partin dressed up spectacularly for the evening as well. Her feathered hat, show-stopping jade jewelry and emerald gown were all fashioned by Stella Thomas. In addition to emerald green, ruby red proved a popular color theme, worn from slippers on up in different and dazzling assortments. And it wouldn’t feel like the magical world of Oz without our favorite characters; Tin Man, Scarecrow, Dorothy and even Madame Morrible were a few standouts among the playful party scene.
