Oh My - Sydney's Closet Starry Nights Ball Gown in O, The Oprah Magazine!

Oh! What a huge fashion scoop.  Sydney’s Closet “Starry Nights” ball gown,  Style SC3018,  seen on page 142 of the February 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine!

A team of dream experts from the esteemed mag gave Samantha, a highway construction worker from New York, a chance to gaze into the mirror and have her true fashion-and-beauty soul gaze back.  Her reflection showed Samantha’s inner Princess staring back wearing Starry Nights in a jewel-toned violet with black.

“In 12 hours I’ll be back in a hard hat and boots tearing up concrete.  Right now, though, I feel like royalty,”she told the magazine’s dream team when photographed after the dramatic hair, beauty and fashion makeover.

Now it’s your turn to be a Princess!  Click out Starry Nights at Sydney's Closet to see more pictures of this bestselling evening gown available in three glamorous colors sure to win over any Prince:  Black Cherry, Black Sapphire and Black Violet.

Sydney's Closet Prom Dress Seen on Tyra Banks Show

Did you see Galaxy, the best-selling short Prom dress from Sydney's Closet on today's Tyra Banks show? Super stylists from PromSpot.com dressed a lucky Prom Queen in the lilac lace cocktail dress with matching shrug for her t.v. debut. "The color is perfect", her beaming mother told the millions watching the Prom makeover show.

The Prom Queen from Connecticut, president of her senior class, wanted to skip Prom 2008 after a fashion diaster last year. "I looked like a big hot mess," she said. This year she went shopping with her Dad but found nothing to flatter her curves. "I love my legs but I wanted to hide the stretch marks on my arms." When Tyra asked her what she thought of Sydney's Closet dress, she smiled: "It's beautiful". Check back soon for pictures of the class president looking "fierce" on the Tyra Banks Show wearing a 2008 Prom dress designed exclusively for Sydney's Closet.
