American University celebrated its 121st Birthday this February and Abigail Finn ’14 is one of the mastermind’s behind this years’ absolutely fabulous Founders Day Ball! Along with planning the Ball, Finn graced the stage and the floors of the National Portrait Gallery in a floor length lace gown that stunned us all. It should be no surprise that this party planner knew how to create a chic and affordable outfit that fit the vibe of the event.

Gown: “Royal Court Gown” by Yigal Azrouel found on Rent The Runway

Pumps: Nude pumps from Aldo

Accesories: Earings and Bracelets from Express

Clutch: Brown Forever21 Clutch borrowed from a friend
