Hough’s dress was a 2005 creation by Zac Posen. The designer’s brand was founded in 2001 and shuttered in 2019.
Posen was well known for his well-constructed evening dresses, which were regularly worn by celebrities on the red carpet. “We have dressed everybody, from the biggest stars to emerging talents to royalty. I feel really fortunate to have made clothes they responded to,” he said in an interview with WWD when he announced his business was shuttering.
