Own the Red Carpet is designed as an exclusive, in-store shopping experience, with curated collections and personalized service available only at its Homewood location.

Renting your look is simple. Dresses are priced by color tag:

  • White—$49
  • Orange—$69
  • Green—$89
  • Purple—$119
  • Blue—$149

You’ll have 14 days to return your dress, and yes—alterations are allowed. Even better? Dry cleaning is included, so you can drop it off stress-free after your event.

Need accessories? They’ve got you covered:

  • Jewelry: $15
  • Handbags: $20–$30

The story behind Own the Red Carpet

The idea was inspired by the owner’s two college-aged daughters, who were constantly attending formals, weddings and sorority events. After seeing the cost of one-time-wear dresses, she wanted to create a smarter option—one that still feels luxurious and fun.

Each gown is hand-selected for its timeless style and designer-inspired feel, giving customers the excitement of finding “the one” without the price tag of a single wear. The goal? Help every woman feel confident, elegant and effortlessly stylish—while making a more sustainable choice.
