2025 Crystal Charity Ball Chair Mary Martha Pickens and Ten Best Dressed Luncheon Chair Amy Hegi have just revealed this year’s class of 2025 Ten Best Dressed, Hall of Famer and Honorary Chair, with some heavy-hitter luxury fashion folks on hand.
For the event taking place this morning at Neiman Marcus NorthPark on the third level, a crowd of fashion-lovers gathered to hear the news with the rollout of the Ten Best Dressed including first-timers Jacquelin Sewell Atkinson, Julie Bagley, Shelby Goff and Shannon Graham and vets Tracey Kozmetsky, Tracy Lange, Lisa Rocchio, Sunie Solomon, Wendy Messmann and Katherine Wyker.
Joining the group who will appear on the runway on Thursday, September 11, at Neiman Marcus Downtown will be Hall of Famer Aileen Pratt.
And speaking of the runway, Brunello Cucinelli will be the featured designer of the day.
With only six previous honorary chairs (Margaret Hill, Annette Simmons, Nancy Dedman, Ruth Altshuler, Norma Hunt and Gene Jones) in the fundraiser’s 51-year history, it was revealed that Francie Moody Dahlberg would become the seventh.
On hand for the announcement were past Hall of Famers Louise Griffeth, Peggy Sewell, Mary Clare Finney, Robyn Conlon and Lisa Cooley, Saks Global President Emily Essner, Cucinelli Senior Director Patrice Grady-Erickson, and Neiman Marcus executives Jodi Kahn, Mary McGreevy and Scott Mitchell.
