A Chic Luncheon for a Noble Cause

27 Mar

I recently attended the RDK Melanoma Foundation 23rd Annual Luncheon at the Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida. The event with more than 400 attendees was ultra chic and included a fashion show by internationally acclaimed fashion designer Monique Lhuillier.

Debbie Schwarzberg created this foundation in memory of her brother who lost his life to melanoma in hopes of educating others about the disease. The annual luncheon is the main fundraiser for the foundation which address the prevention and detection of skin cancer.

The gowns were feminine, sophisticated and red-carpet worthy. My favorite is the upper left with a floral design on tulle. And as equally delicious as the fashions is the yummy, chocolate dessert, above.

Lhuiller has a cadre of Hollywood devotees including Reese Witherspoon, Taylor Swift, Gwyneth Paltrow and more. Reese Witherspoon wrote the forward to the coffee table book Monique Lhuiller: Dreaming of Fashion and Glamour.

The sponsors of the luncheon included Tampa General Hospital, the Leder Foundation and Sun Capital Partners Foundation.

As we enter the summer months and sun is strong, please wear sunscreen!
