[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

I don't know Joan's designer. It doesn't look very Vera Wang to me. It's a strapless black ball gown done in black toile with stripes of black and silver rhinestones running vertically. She also has a toile shawl. The earrings are huge diamond and emerald drops and a stunning 2" wide diamond bracelet.

see above...the designer is escada.

Actually, I am operating on inside information.

Cindy Adams was on the plane with Joan and she said it would be Escada or Vera Wang, looks like Escada.
