Celebrating Palm Beach Glamour - Featuring Two Signature Prints and an Exclusive Judith Leiber Couture Clutch
Sunshine, sparkle, and style collide as powerhouse entrepreneur Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger joins forces with legendary resortwear brand Lilly Pulitzer to unveil a dazzling limited-edition capsule collection that's pure Palm Beach magic.
Launching this November, the capsule collection features two exclusive prints - Sunny Dee and Dee Lightful - each a vibrant celebration of Dee and Lilly's shared love for the whimsical charm and iconic motifs of their coastal hometown. Drawing on her personal connection to Palm Beach, Dee selected the art that inspired each design, capturing what the town and Lilly Pulitzer mean to her — the color, the whimsy, and the novelty.
Sunny Dee, available in two juicy colorways — Conch Shell Pink and Salt Pond Blue — is a playful ode to Palm Beach life, featuring cheeky alligators playing tennis, flirty flamingos, martinis, and the iconic steps of the famed Palm Beach Vias. It's resortwear with a wink.
Dee Lightful reimagines Lilly's classic half-drop motif with a fresh twist: white-grounded scenes brought to life with engineered borders, grosgrain ribbon trims, and the signature Lilly lace — a nod to preppy nostalgia with a modern edge.
The capsule includes nine radiant silhouettes: eight for women and one standout men's piece — the Men's Stuff Mizner Pant — each infused with Dee's signature sparkle and Lilly's sun-soaked spirit. As Creative Director of Judith Leiber Couture, Dee also brings her couture touch with an exclusive limited-edition Judith Leiber Couture Fizzoni crystal adorned classic clutch in Sunny Dee's Conch Shell Pink. Available at Lilly Pulitzer's Worth Avenue boutique and select company store locations and online, this collector's piece pays homage to the origin stories of both brands — born from "happy accidents" and a need to hide a stain, now icons of joyful luxury.
"I grew up in Lilly dresses, and as a full-time Palm Beach resident, the brand's influence on my style — and the town itself — is immeasurable. Designing this collection as a love letter to Palm Beach is a dream come true," says Dee Ocleppo Hilfiger.
"Collaborating with Dee was pure joy. Our shared love for Palm Beach and its whimsical icons made this the perfect tribute to resort style — juicy pastels, luxe silks, and textured cotton shifts, a must-have collectable collection." adds Mira Fain, Chief Creative Officer.
To kick off this collection and Lilly and Dee's shared love for Palm Beach, a preview event will be held in the newly renovated Lilly Pulitzer Flagship Retail Store on Worth Avenue on November 12. The prints officially drop on November 13th, available in Lilly Pulitzer stores, online, and select specialty retailers. Get ready to bask in the glow — this collection is sunshine, bottled.

About Lilly Pulitizer
In 1959, Lilly Pulitzer set out to create her own happiness, opening a juice stand in Palm Beach. In need of an everyday uniform, she asked her dressmaker for something to camouflage splashes of citrus juice. The result? A comfortable, sleeveless shift dress made of colorful printed cotton. Since those early days, Lilly designs have been beloved for their casual glamour, vibrant optimism, and endlessly joyful spirit. Lilly was an original with the confidence to break all the rules, the humility to pull it off, and the vision to make women feel as good as they look.
