Cool, modern and most of all edgy, eveningwear has taken a decisively sexy turn for the most daring A-listers this winter. But while the dresses may vary between a classic and elegant Michael Kors to a directional and flared Dion Lee number, these leading ladies have adhered to one key style rule- to let the dress do the talking. So if you’re tempted to tap into your inner vamp, then keep accessories minimal and sleek for a polished look oozing with sex appeal.
