Liz McGraw’s Gold Chainmail Top

This is Liz McGraw’s gold chainmail top — actual metal mesh, the kind that whispers when you reach for your wine and clinks when you set it down. It catches every overhead light in the room, which is the entire point. Think of Kenya’s white gown at the Bailey Bowl, or NeNe’s gold-fringe entrance in season ten — Atlanta has always understood that a woman arrives in metal when she intends to be photographed, quoted, and slightly resented.

It isn’t subtle and shouldn’t pretend to be. Wear it to the dinner where someone’s husband is about to be exposed, the brunch where you’re the topic, or simply Tuesday. (Tuesdays deserve more.) Into the Vault →
