Tall, dark and drop dead gorgerous

Who says the “L”, in LBD, can’t also stand for “long”? With a dress this seemingly understated, you can go all out with a dark, dramatic lip colour, an armful of bangles, fabulous heels and a clutch to complete the look.

All while still looking effortlessly elegant.
