Formal

Make an entrance in a formal dress chosen for black-tie events, galas, weddings and evening occasions. Our formal collection includes floor-length gowns, sequined and beaded styles, corset bodices and classic silhouettes, with designs from Lara New York, Lady Black Tie and other occasionwear specialists.

For black-tie, a floor-length gown is the safe choice; for black-tie optional or a cocktail reception, an elegant midi or a beaded mini works too. If you prefer more coverage, browse long-sleeve evening gowns, or see our ballgowns for full skirts and drama.

Formal sizing can run differently from everyday clothing, so check each product page for the size chart and fabric details before you order. Complete the look with an evening bag and statement earrings.
