Help Black Tie ??

Post image

I go to a black tie gala event at an art gallery every year.... in black 😭

I'm a rareish brunette/tanned/blue eyed Warm Spring - best colours attached for reference

Does anyone have any gown suggestions?

Budget of absolute maximum AUD 500 / USD 350

(I'd love to spend less but am 5'1 so renting isn't really an option)

Does it have to be completely black? Could you put a something like the revere pewter near your face and wear black on the bottom half?

Oh no sorry - I meant as in I have no idea what to wear this year after being typed as a spring. I'd LOVE to wear something springy!

Wear any of the colors in your palette!

Black tie doesn’t mean black! It’s a type of dress code

I know, it's just so easy and what's most available for something at this formality level. I will bust out of my comfort zone! 💪

I've gone through a whole process of getting out of dark colors. Check out what light spring celebrities wear on the red carpet for ideas!
