Jenny Packham's gorgeous red-carpet gowns are a favorite amongst red-carpet beauties like Kate Winslet, Angelina Jolie, and most recently, we spotted Kate Hudson in the designer's gorgeous purple sequined gown at the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. Now, everyone can get a piece of Jenny Packham at a much more affordable price with the launch of the designer's dressy diffusion line, named Jenny Packham No. 1, with UK retailer Debenhams. "I have taken some of our most feminine and glamorous styles and evolved them into a collection for Debenhams," said Packham. "The red dress is a favourite for me as it has an understated dare devil appeal." The collection, priced around $30 to $300, features a range of dresses, statement jewelry, and shoes fitting for any occasion. Furthermore, accessories like feathered headpieces, satin shoes, crystal brooches, and sparkly necklaces are perfect as wedding accessories.
