Can the colour wheel’s prettiest, girliest shade be the ultimate empowerer? Don’t underestimate it, say Marchesa Notte designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig. Rendered in a lustrous fuchsia hue, this sophisticated gown features a strapless, expertly draped bodice and a fitted waistband that falls to an ankle-grazing length with a fluted high-low hem and a contrast lining for an elegant take on colour-blocking. Secured with a concealed rear zip fastening, soften the statement with simple accessories - this show-stopper requires little adornment.
