I am wearing this for a black tie event as I have been nominated for an industry award and I am starting to waiver.

I have bought a strapless stick on bra, so my fried eggs look a lot better so please disregard my lovely pair in the picture.

Hair will be in a french pleat and I am wearing nude heels. Do you think I can carry it off?

Thank you.

Great dress, I really like the metal clasp on the front. I have the same All Saints leather jacket as you and I've hardly worn mine either!

Forestcantrun · 16/09/2021 21:07

You look beautiful, the dress is beautiful, the leather jacket sounds like the icing on the cake. Have a great night, congratulations and the best of luck!

MissCruellaDeVil · 16/09/2021 21:08

You look great!

Skippingabeat · 16/09/2021 21:09

You look great!! Definitely wear the leather jacket over it and go grab that award!! 👏🏼

nixso29 · 16/09/2021 21:09

You look fab!

MrsMaizel · 16/09/2021 21:13

It's beautiful on you .

Catlover77 · 16/09/2021 21:16

It looks good, not with the Apple watch though

postingfortraffichere · 16/09/2021 21:17

It's lovely colour and lovely from the back - the front is a little plain and I'm not keen on the belt.

Artesia · 16/09/2021 21:19

It looks absolutely lovely. Please don't ruin it with a pashmina. It's totally suitable for a black tie event- a pashmina will bring it right done and make it look as though you are trying to hide, which you definitely shouldn't!

PatsyJStone · 16/09/2021 21:20

I’d wear the jacket and I’d keep hair down, slightly beach hair curled type look. That’s how I’ll see you looking 😆

VenusTiger · 16/09/2021 21:21

Very elegant OP! and the colour really suits your skin tone. Congrats on the nomination - bet you win!

Verbena87 · 16/09/2021 21:21

Gorgeous! Definitely with the biker jacket rather than pashmina. And well done on being nominated for the award too!

WingBingo · 16/09/2021 21:27

@PatsyJStone actually beach hair is flattering for me. Ok here is my face and hair 😩

Any ideas of what to do with my hair gratefully received.

You definitely have the figure for it so yes wear it

stripedbananas · 16/09/2021 21:32

The easiest thing for hair at an event is to tie it back into a low bun at the nape if your neck. That always look refined esp if straightening, curling or whatever else hasn't worked out on the day. You can then also wear fabulous larger dangling earrings.

Standrewsschool · 16/09/2021 21:33

The dress looks great, although I would take The label off!

Atalune · 16/09/2021 21:33

Dress with biker jacket- incredible

I would go for a French twist or hun. But do it a little messy with chandelier earrings.

Will you be wearing your glasses? What’s your makeup thoughts?

I would go for a really good sheer base accentuating your FABULOUS cheekbones and then do a rally clean eye; maybe a cat eye if you can manage it, otherwise very clean eyes with mascara and brows and then a deep claret lip.

You’re going to look a billion bucks. Congratulations on the award and have a great night!

Atalune · 16/09/2021 21:34

Low bun at nape 100%

This sounds like the perfect look!

I love the dress on you too OP, good luck with the award!

Mummyoflittledragon · 16/09/2021 21:37

The dress looks great. As for hair, you’ve got quite a long face. When is the ceremony? You could, time permitting, book an updo at your local salon. You have a similar face shame to Sarah Jessica Parker. Maybe look at her styles?

WingBingo · 16/09/2021 21:40

I won’t be wearing glasses @Atalune

I usually wear very little make up. A MAC highlighter, eye shadow, brow pencil and a good mascara.

I love the cat eye look but I have heavy lids so not something I usually try. Maybe I should?

Definitely a dark berry lip and and clean eyes.

I am liking the low bun idea a lot actually. A little messy is good for me so I’ll have a play with that idea.

I love these ideas, S&B really is fab.

YEEESSS!

You look amazing! Enjoy x

You look amazing!

embolass · 16/09/2021 22:10

Dress and figure fab!
I’d forget about the french pleat though , bit dated. Go for tousled or low bun ala Kate Winslet style
