Meet the Avenelle Maxi Dress With Gloves in black—quietly dramatic and made for an entrance you only have to make once. Cut to skim and lengthen, the floor-grazing silhouette follows your shape without clinging, and the inky black fabric has that rich, almost velvety look that always reads expensive. The matching gloves tie it all together with a touch of old-Hollywood attitude. Luxurious without being loud, which is basically the point.
Take it to a gala, a charity dinner, or one of those cocktail parties where the invite arrives on cardstock. Diamond studs or a sleek pendant, sky-high heels, maybe a clean bun—done. If you like it pared back, let the gloves do the talking and skip the necklace. It works better than it sounds, and you’ll feel it the second you zip it up.
