Event Season Style Guide

Event season is upon us so keep scrolling to discover our tips and tricks on how to make this the most glamorous one yet.

Everybody Dance

It’s time to make your move on the dance floor, so why not find the perfect party outfit with our hand-picked edit? Swishing silhouettes are designed to make an impact and draw attention, so look for mini hems with lots of volume. Make it a style moment to remember with pieces like 16Arlington's feather-trimmed Cynthia dress and Alice + Olivia's sequin-embellished midi dress.

Looking to make a splash across social media? Paco Rabanne has you covered. The iconic silver chainmail mini skirt, crafted from metallic paillettes pays homage to the house's quintessential Space Age aesthetic from the 60s. Emphasising the label’s love of unique materials, the high-shine silver-tone material pairs chicly over sleek black tops and slim-leg trousers – or style alone for those that dare.

Confidence is key. Celebrate yourself with fun-filled designs that you can’t help but smile in. Think playfully bright tones and layers of sequins. Occasionwear has never been more exciting.

MINI HEMS MAKE A STATEMENT

Hot Steppers

Go to new heights and get ready for whatever party lies in your path with our extensive collection of evening shoes. Steal the show with a pair of killer heels, sure to turn heads.

Choosing the right pair of shoes is important to ensure both style and comfort. You’ll want to find a design that’ll dazzle while you effortlessly dance the night away. For those that can handle sky-scraper heels, AQUAZZURA's crystal-encrusted sandals will elevate an outfit with instant glamour and Jimmy Choo's embellished velvet mules will provide you with cult-approved status.

Unwavering in elegance, Manolo Blahnik's iconic silk-satin collection is available in oh-so practical pointed flats, effortless mules and in a range of pumps in sling-back and slip-on. These fashion favourites are crafted to withstand style seasons alongside investment-worthy pairs by Valentino, Malone Souliers and Gianvito Rossi.

FROM CONTEMPORARY TO CULT-APPROVED

The Finishing Touches

Whether you prefer a bold lip or to showcase statement eyes, a carefully-curated makeup look can bring together a whole outfit.

Perfect for the event season and date nights to come, Charlotte Tilbury's romantic-hued palettes are destined to create the ultimate smoky eye look that can be enhanced by the cream Eyes To Mesmerise eyeshadows. Layers of mascara with amp up the drama and a softly toned lip gloss will help draw attention to your eyes.

A statement lip can make you stand out from the crowd. Prep your lips with an exfoliating lip scrub to make sure you’ve got a soft base. Choose a lip liner and lipstick that complement each other. Start at your cupid's bow and draw soft strokes above your natural lips to define them and repeat this on the centre of your bottom lip. Fill in with lipstick and top with a high-shine gloss like Fenty Beauty’s cult-worthy Gloss Bomb.

Complement shimmer and sparkle by sweeping an illuminating highlighter gently across your cheekbones and subtly at your cupids bow. Achieve an eye-catching glow with Fenty Beauty’s Killawatt Highlighter Duo and Hourglass’ glistening Ambient Lighting Edit. Blusher and bronzer are beauty bag essentials and while both will add dimension to your look, blusher will add warmth and bronzer will add a sun-kissed finish.
