Sherri Hill's new prom collection is slowly starting to come out, a few gorgeous gowns at a time. Last week we got a sneak peek at some of her prom gowns- very unique design, beautiful prints and patterns and irresistible fabrics. Her short dresses are sassy with a unique flair and her long gowns are dramatic with some long skirts, high slits and a unique embellishment for each one. This great couture fit gown is made from jewel-toned satin and has the most intricately cut bodice creating a beautiful hourglass form. There are also little pockets on the sides, which are definitely in for this season. We love this red carpet gown. It also comes in various colors like black, emerald and ruby red. Another one of our favorites is this glamour gown. Imagine wearing this strapless, full-length dress, covered from head to toe in beads, sequins and silk chiffon. Tight fit, sexy slit- you are ready to rock the night away. This shimmering gown is available in platinum, gold, rose and black. Rock the Hollywood red carpet in a vintage style, short cocktail dress. Beads and semi-precious stones in shades of ivory and gold float on silk chiffon. This one is also available in champagne and pewter colors. Be on the lookout for more Sherri Hill gowns on at: Sherri Hill |

| Conner's first positive pageant experience came when she was crowned Miss Kentucky Teen USA pageant in 2001. She immediately went on to compete in the Miss Teen USA pageant in Texas where she earned the highest swimsuit score of 9.18 and the fifth highest evening gown score of 8.79 among 10 finalists. She eventually placed second runner-up in the competition. In 2005, Conner was crowned Miss Kentucky USA. She also became a TV show guest, starring in national episodes of Deal or No Deal featuring 25 Miss USA 2006 delegates. During the semi-finals of the Miss USA competition, Conner became the 18th woman to place at both Miss Teen USA and Miss USA pageants. She qualified for the top ten after the swimsuit competition then she dazzled the judges in the evening gown competition wearing a Sherri Hill gown. After making it to the top five and the final interview round, Conner was crowned the winner and became the first Miss Kentucky USA to do so. Conner went on to represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant in 2006 in Los Angeles, California and placed fourth runner-up in a Project Runway gown. She was only the fifth Miss USA to finished fourth-runner up at Miss Universe. After winning the pageant, Conner moved into the Trump Place apartment with her sister titleholders Miss Universe 2006, Zuleyka Rivera, and Miss Teen USA 2006, Katie Blair. During the first few months of her reign, Conner appeared on multiple talk shows such as CNN Headline News, Live! With Regis and Kelly and The Early Show. She promoted charity events like the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation Race for the Cure. She also appeared in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and made promotional appearances in Cannes, France and Italy. In December of her reigning year, a controversy with Conner erupted after a TMZ.com article was published stating that Conner could be dethroned for her behavior in several New York City bars. Two days later the New York Daily news reported that Conner had tested positive for cocaine, had kissed Miss Teen USA Katie Blair in public and had snuck men into the Trump Place apartment. A few days later, and one day after Conner's 21st birthday, Trump announced at a press conference that Conner would not be dethroned because he was a "believer in second chances." If Conner had been dethroned, she would have been the first Miss USA to be stripped from her title since Mary Leona Gage in 1957. Trump also announced that Conner would enter an alcoholism rehabilitation facility called the Caron Foundation in Pennsylvania. She came out of rehab in February 2007 and admitted in an interview with Matt Lauer that she had abused cocaine and anti-depressants. |
