When we found out that Laurie Sharp, San Francisco Ballet Gala Chair, will wear Lily Samii on opening night on January 20, 2010, we were inspired to showcase some of Lily Samii’s memorable gowns on the Red Carpet.
Red Carpet Bay Area captured Lily Samii’s 20 year anniversary fashion show, a benefit for the Arthritis Foundation. Watch the video:
