There is a version of Beverly Hills that only exists in the 90s — the one Cher Horowitz navigated in plaid coordinates, the one Vivian Ward walked into on Rodeo Drive. It was a specific fantasy: effortless, aspirational, and entirely feminine. Nana Jacqueline’s Beverly Hills Diaries was built from that memory.
The collection follows two best friends looking back at their time growing up in a city where elegance was the default setting and every afternoon felt like it belonged in a film. The references are specific — Clueless, Pretty Woman, the intimate pages of a 90s fashion diary — and so are the pieces. Structured tweed, crystal buttons, white lace, brushed knit. The aesthetic that defined an era, reworked for the woman who grew up watching it.
Beverly Hills Diaries drops March 31, 2026. Here is what the collection looks like.
The Brigitte starts with a single design decision that makes everything else work: an off-shoulder neckline that skims the collarbone before settling into place, leaving the neck and shoulders fully exposed. From there, the brushed raccoon-blend knit takes over — plush enough to read as luxurious against skin, structured enough to hold the waist-defining silhouette through a long evening. The gently flared A-line hem closes the shape without committing to anything too severe.
The front placket is where the collection’s signature detail shows most clearly. NJ’s crystal buttons run down the center in mixed shapes — each one chosen for weight and clarity against the plush yarn — creating a contrast between softness and precision that characterizes the Beverly Hills Diaries aesthetic throughout. Gentle gathers along the off-shoulder panel add dimension without drama.
The Brigitte top comes in three readings of the same silhouette. In black, it is the evening piece: polished and directional, the kind of top that makes a simple pair of tailored trousers look considered. In white, the off-shoulder knit shifts into something softer — a bridal shower Saturday, a rooftop lunch, a gathering where the dress code is technically casual but everyone arrives looking like they thought about it. In soft pink, it operates somewhere between the two: feminine and light-toned, the natural companion to a weekend that involves good weather and somewhere worth being seen.
The coordinating Brigitte shorts follow the same brushed knit logic. A straight-cut silhouette, ribbed hem, and elastic waistband keep the profile clean rather than slouchy — a structural decision that matters more than it sounds, because the suede-like texture of the yarn could easily tip soft, and it doesn’t. Worn as a set, the Brigitte becomes a complete outfit that reads as intentional from across a room.
What to Know:Â
Fit note: NJ pieces run small — size up. The off-shoulder construction is designed with flexibility; the gathered neckline accommodates a range of proportions. If between sizes or fuller in the bust, size up.

02 — The Camille Crystal Button Set
The Camille is a more precise piece than the Brigitte — tighter in its references, more direct in what it says about the wearer. The vest is cut around a V-shaped waist seam that sharpens the body’s proportions without actually constricting anything, which is the mark of good tailoring rather than good corsetry. Textured suiting gives the lavender tone a quiet depth — not the flat softness of jersey lavender, but something with a slight weave that catches afternoon light. The peplum hem releases from the waist in a soft flare that balances the silhouette without exaggerating it.
Two custom NJ crystal buttons secure the front — oversized, clear-faceted, set into double-layer buttonholes built to hold their position through repeated wear. Inside the lining: a crystal NJ logo that belongs only to the wearer. These are the kinds of details that signal the difference between a piece that was designed and a piece that was produced.
The Camille pleated mini skirt operates on the same logic. High-waisted, A-line, with structured pleats that hold their geometry with movement rather than losing it. Concealed side zipper. Interior clasp. Built-in shorts in matching fabric. The textured suiting holds the pleats with clarity — this is not a skirt that softens over the course of an afternoon.
The set reads most directly in lavender — the color the collection was designed around, the hue that places you in a Beverly Hills garden at exactly the right hour. In black, the Camille becomes a sharper, more directional piece: less garden party, more cocktail evening. In white, it crosses into bridal territory — a rehearsal dinner with a fashion-forward dress code, or a bridal shower where the guest wants to be remembered.
What to Know
Fit note: NJ pieces run small — size up. The tailored suiting fabric has limited stretch; if between sizes, always go up. The structured waist seam is designed to a precise fit.

03 — The Amelie Lace Strapless White Dress
The Amelie is the piece in this collection that feels most directly connected to the bridal moment Beverly Hills Diaries is invoking — not because it reads as a wedding dress, but because it carries the same quality of considered construction that bridal design demands. Acetate satin and delicate lace panels work together to create texture rather than conflict: the satin gives the bodice its shape, a sheer lace waist panel highlights the narrowest point of the silhouette, and the flowing lace skirt moves with the natural fluidity that chiffon usually monopolizes.
The gathered strapless bodice accommodates rather than constrains. An elastic back panel with bow detail is a structural choice that ensures the dress stays in place regardless of the body it’s worn on, and at this price point that kind of engineering matters. Tuck detailing below the waist adds architectural dimension to what could otherwise be a straightforward silhouette. The lace hem finishes the look with a softness that earns the romantic framing without sliding into costume.
For those building a broader evening wardrobe, the Amelie connects directly to NJ’s lace dress collection → an edit of lace styles suited to formal occasions and evening dressing throughout the season.
What to Know
Fit note: NJ pieces run small — size up. The structured strapless bodice is best sized up when in doubt. The elastic back provides some adjustment range, but the satin bodice has limited ease.

04 — The Juliette Strapless Chiffon White Dress
Where the Amelie has structure, the Juliette has movement. The two dresses occupy opposite ends of the same romantic register — the Amelie is the more architectural piece, the Juliette the more fluid one — and worn together in the campaign imagery they illustrate exactly the duality the collection is built around.
The Juliette pairs a ruched stretch mesh bodice with a flowing chiffon skirt in a way that solves a problem most strapless dresses don’t bother addressing: the contradiction between staying up and moving freely. The mesh upper shapes and secures without constriction; the chiffon skirt adds a lightness that makes a white dress read as intentional rather than bridal by default. The silhouette is A-line but barely — the transition from bodice to skirt is gentle enough that the dress reads as a column from a distance and opens into movement up close.
The result is a dress built for occasions where the Amelie might read too formally: a wedding after-party, an engagement celebration, a summer dinner where the air is warm and the room has good lighting. It is the easier white dress — not simpler in construction, but lighter in the way it carries itself.
What to Know:
Fit note: NJ pieces run small — size up. The stretch mesh bodice provides flexibility, but the fitted structure sits best sized generously. If between sizes, go up.

How to Wear the Beverly Hills Diaries Collection
The Beverly Hills Diaries collection is built around two distinct moods that share a single DNA. Choosing between them — or knowing how to combine them — comes down to reading the occasion rather than the dress.
For daytime occasions with a social dimension — bridal showers, garden lunches, rooftop cocktails — the Brigitte and Camille sets do work that a single dress cannot. Each reads as a considered outfit rather than a costume; the crystal button details and textured fabrics signal a level of brand investment that guests at this kind of event will register even if they cannot immediately place the label. The Camille’s tailored suiting holds its shape through a long day in a way that knitwear cannot always guarantee; the Brigitte’s off-shoulder construction is the more comfortable choice for summer heat.
For evening occasions where white is appropriate — wedding after-parties, engagement dinners, formal summer receptions — the Amelie and Juliette occupy different positions on the formality axis. The Amelie is the more structured, more architectural choice: it commands attention in a room. The Juliette is the lighter, more effortlessly elegant option for evenings where movement matters as much as presence. Both are white, but they are not interchangeable.
Fit & Sizing: What to Know Before You Order
NJ pieces run small across all collections, and Beverly Hills Diaries is no exception. The consistent recommendation is to size up — particularly for the tailored suiting pieces (both Camille styles), where structured fabric has limited stretch and a snug fit across the shoulders or waist will compromise the silhouette the designers built the piece around.
For the Brigitte knit set, the off-shoulder construction and elastic waistband in the shorts provide more flexibility than the suiting pieces, but the sizing-up recommendation still applies if you are between sizes or carry volume in the bust. The gathered off-shoulder panel is designed to accommodate a range of proportions, but the waist-defining knit body does not have significant ease built in.
The Amelie and Juliette both have structured upper bodies. The Amelie’s gathered strapless bodice and the Juliette’s ruched mesh bodice are fitted rather than draped — if you are between sizes, size up. Both dresses have hidden back zippers; the Amelie additionally features an elastic back panel that provides some adjustment range. For destination events or occasions with a fixed date, order with enough lead time to account for returns or exchanges.

Inspired by 90s Beverly Hills glamour and the intimate pages of a fashion diary, it includes sculptural knit sets, crystal-button suiting in lavender, black, and white, and white lace and chiffon evening dresses. The collection reflects the brand’s signature duality: polished daytime dressing and elevated evening wear.
When does the Beverly Hills Diaries collection drop?
Beverly Hills Diaries drops March 31, 2026 at 9AM PT exclusively on nanajacqueline.com. The collection includes the Brigitte knit set, the Camille crystal-button suiting set, the Amelie lace strapless dress, and the Juliette strapless chiffon dress.
Does Nana Jacqueline run small?
Yes — most Nana Jacqueline pieces run small, and Beverly Hills Diaries is no exception. The consistent recommendation across the collection is to size up, particularly for the tailored Camille suiting pieces which have limited stretch. If you are between sizes, always go up. Mariah and Arabella run true to size, but still recommend sizing up if fuller in the bust.
Which Beverly Hills Diaries piece works best for a bridal shower?
The Camille crystal-button vest and skirt in lavender or white is the most event-appropriate choice for a bridal shower guest — the tailored suiting and crystal button details read as considered and elevated without crossing into evening formality. The Brigitte knit set in white or soft pink works for more relaxed bridal shower formats. For guests who prefer a dress, both the Amelie and Juliette read appropriately for bridal events.
Are the white dresses in Beverly Hills Diaries sheer?
The Juliette features a chiffon skirt over a lightweight layered construction — it has some translucency in direct light, and layering beneath is recommended. The Amelie combines acetate satin and lace panels; the lace skirt section has sheer qualities. Neither dress is designed as fully opaque, and both photograph with a romantic, light-catching quality that is intentional to the design.
What occasions work for the Brigitte knit set?
The Brigitte off-shoulder knit set is designed for occasions with a social dimension: weekend brunches, afternoon tea, spring gatherings, cocktail events, weekend outings, and date nights. The black colorway leans toward dressier occasions;Â dressing; white and soft pink work for daytime occasions including bridal showers and garden lunches. The coordinating shorts make the Brigitte equally suited for relaxed lounge dressing when worn separately.
How is Beverly Hills Diaries different from NJ’s other collections?
Beverly Hills Diaries is the brand’s most narrative-driven collection to date — rooted in a specific time, place, and aesthetic reference (90s Beverly Hills glamour, Clueless, Pretty Woman) rather than a single occasion or silhouette. It introduces the Brigitte and Camille as new signature pieces while continuing NJ’s white dress heritage through the Amelie and Juliette. The result is a collection that moves between daytime suiting and evening dressing with more range than a single-occasion edit.
The Collection
Beverly Hills Diaries is not a nostalgia exercise. The references are specific — the 90s, Beverly Hills, two friends who grew up in a city that made elegance feel ordinary — but the pieces are built for now. The Brigitte knit set, the Camille crystal-button suiting, and the white evening dresses are all designed around the same premise: that the right piece of clothing changes the character of the occasion it’s worn to, not just the appearance of the person wearing it.
