The Best-Kept Secret Only the Most Stylish Celebs Know

If you happened to see our coverage of Victoria’s Secret model Ana Beatriz Barros’s wedding, then you may have already found yourself crushing over Alessandra Ambrosio’s ultra-flattering illusion-inset dress by Maria Lucia Hohan. If not, take a moment to let the jaw-dropping look sink in while we further familiarize you with the under-the-radar designer who’s about to blow up.

Over the past year or so, as Hohan’s line has become more and more known, it seems like every celebrity has taken a turn wearing one of her feminine pieces (and that includes Gigi Hadid, Zendaya, and Beyoncé), culminating most recently in Ambrosio’s stamp of approval not once, but twice as she wore Hohan’s gowns for two separate occasions within the same month. Couple this with the sheer perfection of the pieces themselves and the fact that fashion-forward retailers like Bergdorf Goodman and Fivestory in New York have picked up the line, and you have a recipe for major success in not only the celebrity sphere but also the fashion world as a whole.

Editor-at-Large

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
