    Formal Dresses

    Although life has become increasingly casual, special events will remain special - and call for a look that rises to the occasion. From gala events and nights at the theater to weddings and milestone celebrations, formal dresses and evening gowns will always have a place in women's wardrobes. And whether you prefer a minimalist look, classic column dresses, glittering metallic gowns, or trend-forward silhouettes in bold colors, our collection makes creating an elevated look simple.  

    Long Formal Dresses. With ankle-grazing hemlines and options that pool around you as though you're a goddess rising from the sea, long evening dresses are a forever favorite. And whether you love Adrianna Papell formal dresses for their feminine fabrics and special details, daring looks from brands like BCBGMAXAZRIA, or modern classics from Tadashi Shoji, our collection can help you step stylishly into any event.

    Black Tie Formal Dresses & Gowns. When the occasion calls for "black tie" our collection of formal gowns is equal to the task. With classics from Ralph Lauren, AQUA formal dresses in trend-forward designs, glam looks from Chiara Boni La Petite Robe, elegant options from Eliza J, and more, you can elevate your look your way.

    Long-Sleeve Formal Dresses & Gowns. Sleeveless dresses and strapless evening gowns may be your go to, but long-sleeve looks are having a moment. And whether you love a body-con dress with fitted sleeves a la Cinq a Sept or the rich tones in our collection of Aidan Mattox formal dresses, a high neck and sequins, a deep V-neck and lace, or something in between, with the latest looks in long-sleeve evening dresses finding the perfect dress is simple. 

    Semi Formal Dresses. For occasions that don't quite reach black-tie status, our collection of semi-formal dresses has you covered. With curve-hugging designs from Herve Leger, statement-making dresses from Laundry by Shelli Segal, Mac Duggal formal dresses in stunning shades, looks in molten metallics, shimmering sequins, and more, you'll cut a stylish silhouette no matter which look you choose.
