Imagine you are walking down the stairs- all spotlights on you and with each elegant step you take there’s one thing that’s elevating your look. Now what’s that one thing, you ask? It’s everything you are going to do after you read this post!

So, let’s begin crafting your powerful yet elegant evening gown look step by step!

Worried about what looks good on you and what looks great? Just a DM away!

First thing you gotta do…is walk!

For a successful runway that makes everyone notice your queenly presence is how you command your walk. This is only possible with a great slit placement in your gown, which should be decently higher and making sure does not bunch around your ankles. A centre slit is a clear winner here! Channel your inner Miss Universe 2017!

Trending Colours vs Your Colour 

It’s always going to be a constant battle to be on trend. But to do it by going against your signature colour is a CRIME! The best thing to understand is to see how the colour reflects on your skin and makes you stand out! In 2025, pink is the new winning look- it’s trendy but is it your colour? You should ask yourself.

Gala Dinners Are Expensive Affairs!

No, we aren’t talking about the money but the look! Minimal accessories are going to make your gowns look like millions! Less is always more. You should thank Princess Diana and Audrey Hepburn for the timeless look that is on the Miss Universe moodboard. 

Over the Top: Cape Edition

Listen, you got to make this look effortless and not drown in metres of fabric. So cape and overlayer placements are important. Think back capes that elegantly flow or over layers that elegantly placed over your arms. 

(And please this isn’t a helicopter competition so, don’t flung it in all directions T_T)

The Curious Case of Photogenic Gowns

Know when your gown is over detailed and has an aura of being the most photogenic gown. Utilize those gowns for your photoshoot sessions at the pageants. The problem (more like a limitation) is that under the stage lights the detailed look of the gown gets flattened out. So let the audience go gaga over your evening gown portrait!

Safe to say, now you must know the whole deal about evening gowns. So, why are you wasting more time here- go get along and take a second look at all the gowns you would be showcasing at your pageant!
