    Formal Dresses & Evening Gowns for Women

    A flattering evening gown helps you look and feel your best at any formal event. Whether you want a minimalist Jill Jill Stuart with a stunning cut, a Adrianna Papell with a beaded bodice or a Tadashi Shoji that’s fully embellished from top to bottom, our edit of beautiful formal dresses has something for every style and shape.

    A-line evening gowns are timeless and universally flattering, while empire cut dresses from brands like JS Collections are especially flattering for pear shapes. If you have an hourglass silhouette, flaunt your curves with form-fitting mermaid, trumpet and sheath styles from Jovani Fashions and LM Collection. Petite dresses provide the right length for smaller builds, and plus-size formal dresses are designed to flatter full-figured women.

    Designer gowns by Ralph Lauren and Aidan Mattox are known for their classic style and timeless appeal, making them great go-to formal dresses, while bold, modern designs by AQUA and Avery G make an unforgettable fashion statement. If you’re looking for a chic style that goes beyond the ordinary, try a two-piece or cutout Aidan by Aidan or a off-the shoulder evening gown by Likely that shows off just the right amount of skin. If you love your legs in designer heels, display them with a Halston Heritage evening gown that has a slit or high/low skirt. Whatever the occasion, our selection of trendy formal dresses and evening gowns will make you look stunning.
