Betsy spent her Saturday with the stars.
Well, the girls of Stars Talent Studio, that is. About 10 girls between the ages of 17 and 28 first met Betsy two weeks ago when they went to her studio and tried on her dresses — it was like little girls in the dress up box. They passed the gowns around and each eventually settled on one or two that made them look and feel like bombshells from the 50s.
It seems few people know just how much time and energy goes into one of these photoshoots {I definitely was surprised}, so I’ve sketched out a timeline to show what the designer, stylists, photographer, and models did to put together something wonderful.
2 Weeks Before the Shoot
The models gathered at Betsy’s studio where she played fairy godmother and had them try on her colorful, sparkling, tea-length party dresses. Ranging from highlighter yellow/green to white with a sassy pink petticoat, each model found a gown she loved.
The Night Before
Betsy spent hours gathering birdcage veils, pumps, petticoats and props to bring to the shoot.
The Morning Of
With her car brimming with loveliness, Betsy tucked the gowns in beside the accessories and drove to Stars Talent Studio.

1:00 p.m.
Betsy arrived when the Taylor Andrew’s Hair Academy stylists did, and the models arrived one-by-one soon after. The stylists curled and pinned the girls’ hair into mod 60s beehives, then they tailored each girl’s make up to match her gown. Some models got a dramatic smokey eye while others had pink and purple accents.
2:30 p.m.
One by one they transformed into glamour girls–and with a flourishing, finishing touch, they zipped up their gowns. Meghan Derico, the bubbly photographer for PRISteen magazine, brought each girl individually onto the set and coached her through the shoot, giving directions on standing taller and how to show off the features of her gown.
7:30 p.m.
The shoot finally wrapped up after each girl modeled her dress. There were dresses hanging from door frames and mirrors, make up spread over two tables, and many worn out women — but exhausted with the pride of a job well done. With plenty of sass and swagger, the models gave PRISteen beautiful images to choose from for their spread featuring Modest Coture by Elizabeth.
