Paradise Plates has always been a celebration of flavor, but this year the green carpet served something just as satisfying. Guests arrived in saturated color, unapologetic sparkle and enough retro references to make you wonder if a few of them had raided a 70s archive on the way over. There were sculpted silhouettes, playful textures and accessories that clearly came with intention. Some looks whispered, others made a full announcement. And while the room was full of people who understood the assignment, five looks stayed with us long after the last plate was cleared. These are the ones that felt confident, considered and completely their own.
The Crochet Mini
This was one of the most memorable looks of the night. The oversized crochet pattern, bright colors and handmade texture immediately give it that carefree 70s feeling. It is bold, playful and visually interesting without feeling like a costume.
The Pink Draped Dress
This look was pure fun. The sparkle, cutout and dramatic draping gave it the right amount of disco energy, while the bright pink kept it youthful and playful. It fully committed to the theme without feeling overdone.
The Zebra Shirt and Yellow Pants
One of the strongest menswear moments of the night. Zebra print with bright yellow is a risky combination, but the simplicity of the pieces keeps it from becoming chaotic. The open shirt, sunglasses and jewelry give it just enough attitude.
The Floral Fringe Dress
This look understood the theme without trying too hard. The floral print already feels retro, but the floor-length fringe is what really sells it. It adds movement, drama and makes the entire dress much more memorable.
The Metallic Corset and Sequin Skirt
The mix of textures makes this one stand out immediately. The structured metallic corset against the loose, reflective skirt feels glamorous and bold, and the green keeps all of that shine looking intentional rather than overwhelming.
What separated these five from the rest was personality. They referenced the 70s without simply recreating them, and each look brought something memorable to the room. That is what a themed event should look like.
