As far as party dressing goes, the grander, the better. But we also understand that between your professional and personal lives, there are just too many things to juggle and choosing the perfect dress for a big social event can take some time.

So, we’ve trawled through the latest line-up of couture dresses to bring you some of our favourites.

 

Valentino

For a romantic Roman inspired theme, you can always turn to the masters at Valentino, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, who sent models in pleated gowns down the runway.

 

Chanel

Mark your grand entrance with Chanel’s majestic fairy tale-like cape. Plus the accessory-of-the-moment, according to Karl Lagerfeld, is an almost-camouflaged smartphone pouch that’s worn around the waist. Goodbye cumbersome clutches; hello free hands for champagne and canapes.

 

Christian Dior

Only Christian Dior can make an off-shoulder number look so nonchalant and seductive at the same time.

 

Giambattista Valli

When it comes to red carpet worthy options, Giambattista Valli rarely disappoints. This couture season, it’s no different. Feminine, modern and charming are just some of the many adjectives that come to mind when we see the collection.

 

Armani Prive

Glistering embroidery and soft lilac hues come together at the house of Armani to spark off a glamourous and lady-like selection of strapless dresses.
