Rent the Runway for Your Next Party

Recently celebrating their one-year anniversary, Georgetown’s posh Rent the Runway location is the prime spot to get your holiday party dress this season. Store owner and fashion merchandising queen, Khalilah Branch told On Tap “there are a lot of hot trends to choose from this year including sequins, sparkles, mod style, Victorian cuts and jumpsuits.” Also new at Rent the Runway is a Birchbox store inside the shop. Now, not only can you shop designer gowns at bargain rental prices, you can also purchase beauty products, build-your-own curated beauty boxes and get your makeup done right before the big event. The in-store formula: Choose your gown + get your makeup done + get dressed = a beautiful you, ready for the party.
