As do sequins, obvs. Rixo’s sequin mini-dress is a dazzling multi-colour joy while Michael Michael Kors‘ silver dress is made from recycled tulle so it’s sustainable as well as stunning. Staud’s maxi dress has trending cut-out details and Nensi Dojaka’s cut-out mini-dress - the brand behind all our favourite A Lister’s sexiest dresses this season - will be a cult buy. The little black dress reigns as the most versatile option with plenty of dress up - and down - appeal. Raey’s lace-tie silk slip dress will be a forever investment.
