Best Dressed at the Pink Palace: A Style Recap from PARCA’s Most Glamorous Afternoon

Best Dressed at the Pink Palace: A Style Recap from
PARCA’s Most Glamorous Afternoon

Timeless glamour met modern sophistication at this year’s PARCA Pink Palace Luncheon & Fashion Show, hosted at a private Hillsborough estate. The 36th annual celebration drew over 330 chic guests for an afternoon of fashion and philanthropy, all in support of individuals with developmental disabilities across the Bay Area. But beyond the cabana-lined garden and runway-worthy ambiance, it was the style off the catwalk that truly stole the spotlight.

From sweeping sundresses and sharply tailored suits to dreamy pastels, statement sunglasses, and hats worthy of a silver screen debut, this was an afternoon where personal style spoke volumes. The dress code? Elegant, expressive, and unapologetically fabulous.

This year’s Best Dressed list is a celebration of those who not only embraced the spirit of the day but elevated it. These are the guests who turned heads and captured hearts—proof that fashion, when done with intention, becomes a form of storytelling.
