You can surely get a stunning red carpet look by doing so. But remember the key is to find out the look that works for you. The formal attire you wear must add balance to your image, complement your body shape, your style and personality.

Illusion or sheer style dresses:

With a variety of tulle and silk translucent designs hitting the runways this season, the sheer fabric keeps on being more and more popular. The transparency of formal gowns has continuously grown into the red-carpet staples. The see-through factor can appear in a far more subtle and elegant way than you think. For example, an evening dress with a sheer panel at the front of its bodice, or with a plunging V neck, or with a lingerie style corset that is easy to wear and can bring you this dedicated evening-wear trend.

Dresses with puff sleeves:

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]

The most fabulous dress trend of the 80s is back. Evening gowns and cocktail dresses with voluminous sleeves have been seen on every runway and become the most prominent trend this season. How about a fantastic formal dress with long puff sleeves made of sheer fabrics to reveal skin in the chicest manner and keep the look modest, but at the same time sexy.

Velvet evening gowns:

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]

Without a doubt, a fabric of a dress plays an essential role in making its perfect fit. When it comes to a formal, luxurious and timeless look, velvet is always the first choice in designers’ mind. This year velvet is back with more sophisticated standards and cut-out details. We guarantee that it will continue being a significant trend in the future. It is excellent for all things formal and elegant, and it will provide you a liquid feel and flatter your figure.

Ruffled dresses, ruffled tops, and tiered skirt dresses:

[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”8px”][vc_column_text]

Ravishing floor length ruffle dresses are retro-inspired. This most romantic trend shows the beauty of a dress from the 1950’s. A daring lightly cascading ruffles dress will bring you go-with-the-flow feeling, keep your look trendy and unabashedly feminine at the same time. This trend will fluff up your formal look.

3D flower dresses with romantic lace applique:

These delicate details can transform any formal gown into a masterpiece. Wearing an outfit offering this trend will give you a genuinely feminine and super romantic look.
