1. (above) Modern Traditionalist
Edgy details counter the classic silhouette of Rosa Clará’s “Neon” dress. Flaunting a V-neck front and V-neck back, the raw gazar gown also sports pockets and frosted beading motifs. A bow-tied belt flatters the waist while exposed arms show some skin. Price upon request, from designerloftnyc.com.

Evoking an airy aura, the “Hettie” dress with bateau neckline by Temperley London Bridal is irrefutably romantic. The figure-flattering gown’s full-length cape gives the illusion of streamer sleeves as it effortlessly floats across the floor. Pair with the Ionie hair comb for sparkle. $7,350, through a bridal representative at +44 207 229 7957.
