Color is the first thing the eye registers—even before silhouette, fabric, or details. Pablo Picasso once said:
“Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.”
And in evening fashion, emotions are always at their peak: the anticipation of a celebration, the sparkle of lights, the music, and the admiring glances. We’ve rounded up the colors currently dominating red carpets, gala dinners, and banquets—and we’re showing you how to wear them.
The Season’s Top Palette
- Burgundy and wine. A deep, aristocratic color for sophisticated evenings.
- Emerald. Cool-toned luxury for special occasions.
- Metallic. Gold and silver with a liquid-metal finish.
- Chocolate. A warm, enveloping alternative to black.
- All-black. An absolute classic, refreshed with new textures and effects.
- Ivory and pearl. Refined, luminous shades—minus the bridal connotations.
- Sapphire. A dramatic, cinematic blue.
- Powder rose. Delicate, yet sophisticated.
- Scarlet. An enduring classic that never goes out of style.
Burgundy and wine: refined passion
Burgundy is the season’s number-one color. From dark-cherry velvet mermaid gowns and satin column dresses in aged-wine hues to corset bodices paired with flowing chiffon skirts, this color looks luxurious in any silhouette. It is as rich as velvet and as warm as the glow of candlelight. Those with warm color types should opt for brick undertones, while those with cool color types should choose raspberry shades.

Emerald: A cool wave of luxury
Emerald is the color of gemstones and classic cinema. Satin slip dresses flow like water, A-line gowns with capes transform an evening into a regal affair, and column dresses in substantial crepe create a striking, sculptural silhouette. Emerald looks particularly striking on brunettes and redheads, and when paired with gold jewelry, it exudes a truly luxurious feel.
