Dina Bar-El makes evening gowns that have been seen all over the celebrity world: on Marcia Cross, Eva Longoria, and Nicollete Sheridan in international ad campaigns for Desperate Housewives, Geena Davis, Sharon Stone, Tyra Banks, Angela Bassett, Kelly Rowman, Holly Robinson-Peete, Kelly Hu, and no one will forget the gorgeous sunshine yellow satin dress on Kate Hudson in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Bar-El's gowns. They are elegant, lady-like, and very sexy.

Her Spring collection held no surprises, except that animal prints we have seen before seemed to play a bigger role. Not only was there the quintessential leopard print, but also an unidentifiable hybrid snow leopard-cheetah, and the giraffe. I have a strange attraction to giraffe, and was wowed by a short giraffe-print dress. I can't really imagine wearing it out, but it was fun to look at.
