Sherri Hill (born 1949 in Minco, Oklahoma, USA) is an American fashion designer and businesswoman whose specialty is formal evening wear.
Sherri Hill was born Sherri Branum, one of five siblings of James and Roberta Branum and was born and raised in a small town in Oklahoma. Hill’s parents owned local general stores selling everything from fabric and clothing to shampoo, candy and school supplies; she was given the opportunity at age eight to join her older sisters in part-time work at the family store. The colorful fabric that was sold in the store sparked Hill's interest in fashion and eventually she was allowed to “dress” the four mannequins in the front windows by draping yards of fabric around each.
While Hills was studying fashion design at the University of Oklahoma, her family opened stores in Norman and Oklahoma City where they focused on ladies’ clothing and evening wear. It was during these years that Hill began designing her own line of evening gowns.
After university, Hill worked for various manufacturers in the evening wear business. She started gaining recognition in the pageant world when various Miss America, Miss USA and Miss Universe contestants won in the gowns she had designed. Along with designing pageant gowns, Hill worked for 12 years as designer for Jovani Fashions, helping launch the brand. Hill eventually left Jovani in 2008 to begin her own evening gown line under the name Sherri Hill, Inc. which now has a network of over 800 stores.
Various celebrities including Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert , Zendaya, Ariana Grande, Gabby Douglas, Fifth Harmony, Bella Thorne and Ryan Newman have worn Hill’s designs for various red carpet, charity and social events. One of the dresses of the Sherri Hill brand, style 1403, was worn by Selena Gomez while performing in a 2011 concert.Kendall Jenner and Nicole Polizzi are also fans.
