The one to watch: Tara LaTour (top right)
Newcomer Tara LaTour takes after Vera Wang in that she magically mixes killer construction with interesting textures and weightless details (note the ostrich feathers in this airy skirt). Gown, $3,410, TaraLaTour.com; ring, $3,420 (not including center stone), CoastDiamond.com; earrings, $6,490, KirkKara.com
