Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 350 The Battle for the Gown

Some female stars put a lot of emphasis on their red-carpet appearances, especially the big stars in the industry. They always wear haute couture and might even buy media spots to boast about being the first to wear a particular outfit in Artea. But Violeta wasn't too concerned about this. She had just started her career, and overshadowing her senior could create animosity. So, she took a more laid-back approach.

The Clio Charity Night invitations soon circulated in the industry, and Hattie received one.

Her company offered her a selection of mid-tier luxury brands to choose from for her dress. However, Hattie wasn't impressed with any of them.

"These dresses are all too plain. Isn't there something more glamorous?" Hattie complained.

Carmen replied, "Hattie, you're not in a position to wear haute couture yet."

"Why not?" Hattie demanded.

Carmen explained, "Non-A-list celebrities don't get access to haute couture. Not to mention haute couture, even luxury brands are hard to borrow from. If you want something special, you must settle for ready-to-wear from those luxury brands." Hattie was dissatisfied. "Without luxury brands, how can I stand out among all the other stars?"

Carmen responded, "If you really want them, I can help you contact a ready-to-wear line."

Hattie waved her hand dismissively, feeling that Carmen couldn't borrow them. She said, "Forget it. I'll ask my mom."

Carmen sighed, "Alright, it's up to you."

Hattie called Hannah, hoping her mother could help her secure a luxury brand outfit.

After hearing Hattie's request, Hannah agreed with Carmen's perspective.

"Hattie, you're not quite at the level for luxury brands yet. It's better to stay low-key for now."
