Metallic Moment
A sequin gown is foolproof for a celebratory party. Start with sexy tailoring, like this illusion corset; then, pair with bold accessories. Case in point: Our Astrid Silver Swarovski crystal embellished slingbacks. The look gets even stronger when elements of visual interest add an extra dose of drama without being over-the-top. This look is for the girl that considers herself chic, sophisticated, and a modern minimalist with a touch of glam—not a princess, a romantic, or a boho bride-to-be.

For a laid back vibe, channel the sartorial minimalism of the ‘90s and the Night Fever ’70s with an easy slip dress and a hint of disco-inspired sparkle with glitzy extras. Thin oversized hoop earrings and an easy-to-wear sandal are the ideal add-ons for an effortlessly sultry vibe that’s sure to have you feeling good on the dance floor until the early hours. Top it off with voluminous waves, or a textured ponytail.
