The barometric pressure at The Junior League of Houston’s annual Opening Style Show was high and happy at the fittingly themed Style En Pointe: Beauty in Motion. Tea Room special events chair Kristin Turnak felt the love as patrons donated to the league’s Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. Waves of applause were heard for Tootsies’ parade of new trends, which included red as the new power color, velvet-vibe textures, cropped pants and men-inspired clothes combining pinstripes with ruffles. On target in red were fashionista Fady Armanious, Patty Freeman, Julie Danvers, Autumn Schoen and Kay Edwards. And no matter what they wore, Amber Wendy, Amanda Hanks, Kathy Steadman, Morgan Bellows, Mary Lee Wilkens, Lauren Brown, Chanel Perkins, Catherine Barrett, Laura Showalter and Linda Steve made a splash.
