    Break Out the Ball Gowns

    10 must-attend fall events on the Dallas social scene

    Yes, it's already time to think about the four months of fancy daytime fetes and elegant nighttime galas that define the fall social season in Dallas. Rest up while you can, because the summer stupor is quickly coming to an end. Mark your calendars for these 10 premier charitable events.

    Crystal Charity Ball 10 Best Dressed Fashion Show and Luncheon
    This chic fashion show and luncheon at Neiman Marcus Downtown kicks off the fall social season in Dallas. On September 12, chairman Claire Emanuelson welcomes Tricia Besing, Nancy Carlson, Francie Moody-Dahlberg, Mary Clare Finney, DeeDee Lee, Patty Leyendecker, Lynn McBee, Pam Perella, Aileen Pratt, Christi Urschel and Hall of fame honoree Lisa Troutt, who flaunt designs by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen.

    Dallas Symphony Orchestra AT&T Gala
    Join gala chairs Anne and Steve Stodghill on September 28 at the Meyerson Symphony Center for one of the most elegant evenings of the year. Grammy Award-winning soprano Renée Fleming performs alongside esteemed conductor Jaap van Zweden at this year's fall affair. The after-party includes small bites, cocktails, jazz and music spun by DJ Lucy Wrubel.

    Cattle Baron's Ball
    Head to Southfork Ranch October 5 for the 40th annual Cattle Baron's Ball, the largest fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. Ever since co-chairs Brooke Shelby and Mary Gill announced Rascal Flatts as the lead entertainment, we've been counting down the days. This year, however, we shall wear waterproof boots.

    Dallas Opera First Night and First Sight
    For the first year ever, the Dallas Opera is introducing a fashion-focused First Night spinoff called First Sight, a fashion show and luncheon that takes place October 24. The following night, the annual red-carpet affair kicks off the new opera season at the Winspear Opera House. Lynn Mock chairs both events.

    Two x Two for AIDS and Art
    Generous art enthusiasts look forward to Two x Two weekend all year. First up is the First Look preview party on October 24, followed two days later by the 15th annual Two x Two for AIDS and Art black-tie gala at the Rachofsky House. Joining generous hosts Cindy and Howard Rachofsky are 2013 honorees Luc Tuymans and Chris Salgardo. Christen Wilson chairs both events, which benefit the Dallas Museum of Art and amfAR.

    St. Jude Evening Under the Stars
    We'll take any opportunity to join St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and its fight against pediatric cancer. This year's honorary chairs are longtime supporters Carole and Scott Murray, who help host the event at the Omni Dallas on October 26. Expect silent and live auctions, dinner, and entertainment. Snag your seat if you haven't already.

    Black Tie Dinner
    This big-deal formal affair — November 2 at the Sheraton Hotel Dallas — supports 20 local LGBT beneficiaries and the Human Rights Campaign Foundation. This year's co-chairs Mitzi Lemons and Ken Morris have their work cut out for them; last year's fete raised more than $1 million. But with featured speaker Dustin Lance Black and hundreds of stylish attendees, expect to be impressed.

    Texas Ballet Theater's Tutu Chic Fashion Show and Luncheon
    Forget the Nutcracker and head to the Winspear Opera House for a fashion show featuring models from Texas Ballet Theater, who don exquisite couture from Stanley Korshak. Dee Wyly and Niven Morgan serve as honorary chairs for the December 5 fete.

    Crystal Charity Ball
    Join ball chair Caren Kline on December 7 for the most elegant — and most highly anticipated — event of the year. As social season draws to a close, our city's movers and shakers flock to the Hilton Anatole for the grand gala themed "Magnificent Manhattan," which benefits eight local charities.

    Dallas makes top 10 list of cities with most millionaires in America

    Dallas is rolling in millionaires and a new list offers the proof: A study of the Top 10 Wealthiest Cities in USA by residency and citizenship consultant Henley & Partners puts Dallas at No. 6 — home to 72,400 millionaires as of December 2024.

    As if that's not enough, Dallas also has 135 centi-millionaires — meaning they're worth $100 million or more — and 16 billionaires.

    According to the study, the number of millionaires in Dallas grew 85 percent from 2014 to 2024.

    The study pointed out that Dallas “has seen very strong wealth growth over the past two decades, driven in part by the relocation of several major corporate headquarters to the city. Prominent companies based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area include AT&T, CBRE, Caterpillar, American Airlines, Charles Schwab, and Texas Instruments.”

    Houston was the richest city in Texas, coming in at no. 5 and beating Dallas by one place. Austin just squeezed in at 10th place but is rushing to catch up: It had the greatest increase in number of richy-rich in the past decade.

    Here’s the rundown for Houston and Austin:

    • Houston — 81,800 millionaires, 210 centi-millionaires, and 16 billionaires. Millionaire growth rate from 2014 to 2024: 75 percent.
    • Austin — 32,000 millionaires, 90 centi-millionaires, and 10 billionaires. Millionaire growth rate from 2014 to 2024: 90 percent.

    In its comments about Houston, the study pointed out that “America’s energy capital, Houston, is a global leader in engineering and aeronautics. It is also home to 24 Fortune 500 companies — the third-highest number among U.S. cities, after New York and Chicago."

    Regarding Austin, the study said: “With its booming tech sector, Austin has been dubbed ‘Silicon Hills.’ Several major tech companies have moved their headquarters to the city over the past decade, most notably Tesla. Texas’s low state taxes add to Austin’s appeal. While wealth growth in the city has slowed over the past couple of years, it remains very impressive when viewed over the past decade as a whole.”

    New York City topped the overall list, boasting 384,500 millionaires, 818 centi-millionaires and 66 billionaires. But Texas is the only state with three millionaire hubs in the top 10.

    On a separate Henley & Partners list, Houston took the No. 5 spot for the most centi-millionaires in the U.S. Dallas ranked seventh and Austin ranked 12th.
