One part Katherine Hepburn, two parts Bianca Jagger, all parts Gucci! This emerald-green scene-stealer of a dress is a little schizophrenic, but that’s also want it makes it amazing. One side, with a pussybow high neck and long, flowing sleeve veers toward 1940s-style conservative. Stand perfectly still and the long, soft pleats have you covered. But wiggle that right leg an inch or two and – bam! – a racy up-to-the-waist slit exposes a whole lotta leg. Good thing this silk-voile dress comes with a matching pair of briefs.
And that’s not all. The cleverly wrapped bodice is arranged to reveal a perfect triangle of flesh, not to mention a whole arm and shoulder. This is a fluid, suggestive way of breaking the woman’s form down into specific parts – some may call it objectifying, but I call it sexy. And it’s not objectification when I’m in charge! And while this certainly isn’t for the shy of heart – or shy of gym – it has enough luscious fabric so you don’t feel (too) naked. On Net-a-Porter for $3,900.
Pair with: If there was ever a time to pull out your highest stiletto, here it is. Nothing too strappy or it will conflict with your effort to elongate. A simple python pump by Jimmy Choo will do the trick. Five inches of height and a orange-rust color to offset your jewel tone. On Net-a-Porter for $1,195.
Those shoes are to die for!! I would live in them!!
