COCKTAIL RECEPTIONS: You really can’t go wrong with a minimal black dress for a formal event. Perennially stylish and effortlessly elegant, the ‘SAMAR’ dress's panelled tailoring frames your silhouette beautifully, with sharp shoulders and v neckline revealing just enough skin for a subtle, sensual effect. All you need are simple sandals and some gold accessories for a refined cocktail look. | Lillian Khallouf
