Red Carpet Gowns: Floor-Length Formal Dresses

Red Carpet Gowns: Floor-Length Formal Dresses

Floor-length gowns in jewel tones, metallics and classic red for galas, premieres and black tie weddings.

Red carpet dressing is about one idea done all the way: a gown that makes sense the second you walk in. I pick the color first, then the shape, then I stop adding things. A long dress with a slit or a strong shoulder does not need much else.

 

There is a lot of range here. A.L.C.'s Nadia in emerald and Caroline Constas's blush velvet Alexandra are the two I would choose for a gala where everyone else is in black. NBD's cobalt Mohini and the fuchsia feathered Geisha from Bronx And Banco are for a night you want to be remembered. Retrofete does gold and champagne that catches the light, and SIMKHAI's lipstick red Norvelle is the one for anyone who wants a classic red dress with a little drama in the back. Add a small clutch and strappy heels, and let the dress carry the room.
