So *This* Is What L.A.'s Best Dressed People Wear to a Fashion Party

See what Ashley Tisdale French, Sammi Hanratty, and others wore to Who What Wear's 20th anniversary party in L.A.

It’s not every day I get to party with L.A.’s best dressed people, so you can bet I made the most of the opportunity at Who What Wear's 20th anniversary celebration, mentally taking notes on what everyone was wearing and methodically dissecting their outfit formulas. The holiday season is around the corner, so I thought I'd share all the party-outfit inspo I gleaned from our guests.

Melanie Moreno, for instance, grabbed an espresso martini from our Movado bar cart wearing an impossibly chic black dress with a keyhole cutout. I noticed other guests were also fans of the LBD-with-a-twist trend, choosing dresses with strategically skin-baring openings. Meanwhile, Ashley Tisdale French and Yellowjackets star Sammi Hanratty were on the same page when it came to one specific outerwear trend. (Side note: We couldn't have honored our 2006 beginnings without Y2K icon Tisdale French, aka Sharpay Evans.) Scroll down for the three outfit trends I spotted over and over, and then head to Amazon to buy Who What Wear's first-ever print magazine.
