The Charity Preview returned to Huntington Place in January, and as is tradition, brought the snow with it. But inclement weather never stops the attendees from turning out in grand style to get a sneak peek of the vehicles at the Detroit Auto Show and raise money for a variety of children’s charities across southeast Michigan. Here are some eye-catching outfits from the evening.
Grace Heslip, Commerce Twp.
For the past 10 years, designer Janna Coumoundouros of Clawson has created a gown for Charity Preview made from Troy-based Inteva materials that is worn by a model (this year Grace Heslip) at the event.

Sally Moore, Detroit
When asked why she chose a Western-themed ensemble for the evening, Sally Moore quickly explained, “Cowboy Carter, baby. Can’t lie, halftime got me,” referring to Beyonce’s performance during the Christmas day Texans/Ravens game.
Lisa Gray, Northville
Lisa Gray’s chic look was built around the coat found in London then injected with her personality through her favorite accessories: glasses, earrings, and a scarf.
Patty Ghesquiere, Bloomfield Hills
Patty Ghesquiere wears this sparkly Lions shirt — a gift from her husband — for every game. And she says every time she wears it, they win.
