The Gowns! The Glamour! The General Hospital Nurses' Ball's fashion finest

General Hospital's Nurses' Ball always brings out the glitz and the glam in Port Charles. There was a time when formal events were de rigueur for soaps, and we saw them frequently. Now, the Nurses' Ball may be one of the only times we see our Port Charles pals dressed to the nines.

It's certainly the only time we see our faves waltz down the red carpet and pose for professional photos while being interviewed by the national press. And of course, they have to look their absolute best.

Mistress of ceremonies Lucy Coe is the queen of costume changes and is expected to wear multiple gowns throughout four episodes that feature the ball. Inevitably, she ends up on stage in her underwear by the end of the night, but not before putting on quite a fashion show in the meantime.

According to Soap Opera Digest, GH costume designer Shawn Reeves chose the gowns and ensembles modeled by the glamorous women of Port Charles. Below, you can feast your eyes on the fashion, as well as learn who designed what the women are wearing.

Who were they wearing?

Red carpet co-host Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros) was not happy to share her duties with mortal enemy Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison), but she looked fantastic in a burgundy gown designed by MacDuggal.
