This year’s Monte Carlo was called Havanna Nights. When one thinks of Havanna Nights, one gets an image of bright colors, lace accents and A LOT of ruffles. However, this year a lot of ladies stepped out in LBDs—“little black dresses.” I saw a lot of simple black dresses with unique details, such as lace cut outs, white accents and peplum skirts. But there were a lot of brightly colored dresses as well, which popped against the sea of black suits and LBDs.
At the party this year, there was a traditional Mercedes in which students could sit and pose for pictures. The party was adorned with twinkly lights, paper lanterns, a lot of greenery and a live band! In addition, there was an open bar for those of age to sip on red wine and beer. This is the most anticipated formal event of the year and all were dressed in their best outfits.
