arts·meme sends well wishes and sincere fashion envy to the great, the magnificent Empress of Modern Dance, our beloved Carmen de Lavallade who poses here in a sensational mauve gown designed by American designer B Michael A M E R I C A.
Queen Carmen fits perfectly in that swank setting, doesn’t she? She has made dance so very proud as one of five honorees at the 40th annual Kennedy Center Honors Gala, along with fellow honorees Gloria Estefan, LL COOL J, Norman Lear and Lionel Richie.
