A couple of weeks ago, we shared Christa Abbate's prom dress testimonial, and now we have another prom dress testimonial to share with you from one of our Roo Girls who recently attended her dance. Brett Emery and her mom, Kris, from Knoxville, Tennessee purchased Brett's prom dress back in March, and Brett finally got all dolled up in her prom dress for her big night. Check out what she wore below and the kind words that Kris shared with us!
"Thank you again for all of your help. Prom was a huge success. My daughter received a lot of wonderful comments on the dress."
-Kris Emery, Brett's mom

The Met Gala is the event of all events when it comes to fashion... one may basically call it the prom of the fashion industry. Each year has its own theme, and the 2016 Met Gala theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. The idea behind the theme was to explore and appreciate how technology has played a significant role in the fashion industry.
A lot of the celebrity gals who walked the 2016 Met Gala Red Carpet wore gorgeous sparkly, silver gowns, giving an ode to robots and machinery. But, one celebrity literally sparkled at the Met Gala: Claire Danes. The "tech white tie" dress code may have been a little difficult to interpret, but Claire wore the theme perfectly with an original Zac Posen gown that lit up with lights within the dress!
How gorgeous is that dress?! Not only did the actress get a perfect Cinderella look, but it had such a special, unique touch to it when the lights go down. The effect reminded us of not only technology, but The Girl On Fire, Katniss', dress from The Hunger Games. The lights didn't show on the red carpet, but Zac Posen posted plenty of pics and videos on his Instagram account. Check out one of the videos he posted below. Continue reading →
It's time to see more of our gorgeous Roo Girls all dressed up in their Rissy Roo's dresses for prom! The latest comes from Roo Girl Christa Abbate, who recently sent us a picture all dressed up in her prom dress, accompanied by such a nice note that we're gushing so much. She chose a really unique La Femme prom dress that you definitely won't want to miss out on seeing. Check out what she had to say and her photo below!
"I live in Colorado, the dress shops here in town were unable to help my order the La Femme dress I was in love with. I was worried about having to order online but after checking the La Femme site and realizing Rissyroos was an authorized retailer and legit, I felt better about my purchase. I also love the fact that rissyroos is a REAL store and not some sketchy online companies that are out there! I am so pleased with your customer service and how my dream dress was delivered to me within a few days! I will definitely use rissyroos again and thank you so much for helping me when the Colorado stores were unable too. I got so many compliments on my dress at my event!"

The bey-hive has been abuzz over the past few days over the surprise drop of Beyonce's brand new visual album "Lemonade." Beyoncé's sixth studio album is strikingly direct and is by far her most personal one yet. You'll find that infidelity is a major theme throughout many of the tracks, and her fans are rising up in support. Just as importantly, the themes of forgiveness and re-commitment can also be found throughout the album, making Bey the queen of statements that she's become.
So, in solidarity with Queen Bey's powerful message, we're sharing a great way to get one of her most powerful red carpet looks: the beautiful Givenchy gown that she wore to the Met Gala back in May 2015.
