The Party Edit

’Tis the season for late nights, last toasts and looks that do the most with minimal effort. Here’s our curated guide to party dressing from velvet tailoring to sequins, sheer moments and modern heritage featuring standout pieces you can shop right now.

Velvet, Tailored, Effortless

Trade the party dress for razor-sharp velvet: Saint Laurent’s straight-cut trousers paired with a whisper-light Miu Miu sheer blouse, cinched at the waist with a glossy patent belt, feels instantaneously polished and impossibly easy. Slip on slingbacks, add a mini shoulder bag, and let the fabric do the talking.

Modern Shine: Metallics That Move

Choose sculptural shimmer that reads chic, not shouty—Christopher Kane’s metallic floral shift glows under the lights, and the Prada matelassé gold coat thrown over your shoulders turns every entrance into an occasion. Anchor the gleam with black tights and sleek pumps, then switch to strappy heels as the countdown begins.

Icons That Sparkle

As we ring in the New Year, reach for pieces made to catch the light—the Brown Sequin Skirt or a classic DVF sequin dress are perfection. Finish with satin sandals and a compact clutch, keeping hair and make-up fresh to offset the shine.

New-Year Elegance, Reimagined

Ring in the new year with our Shanghai Tang Qipao dresses—sleek mandarin collars, elegant side slits and rich silk that balances tradition with modern restraint. Keep accessories minimal (a slim clutch, clean heels, delicate jewellery) and let the silhouette do the talking. Explore our New In styles and choose your statement shade for midnight.
