Kylie Minogue's stunning floral dress is definitely one of her top looks to date. The icon had much to celebrate as she marked the fourth anniversary of her wine company at Annabel's in London - in the same week she celebrated turning 56. And we can't get it out of our heads!
If you're wondering how to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe, then bold floral patterns are an excellent styling choice. And for those looking for stylish dresses to hide a tummy, choosing a dress with a floral motif is a brilliant way to camouflage your midsection whilst flattering your curves, making it a perfect pick for your summer capsule wardrobe. Choosing florals is also a fabulous option for special occasions too, as Kylie shows.
Known for her glamorous style, the singer marked the occasion in the Erdem floral bow-front sleeveless column gown. This piece gives off Regency-era glamour, and the bow-front detail is also another fabulous styling tip for adding dimension to your silhouette by creating the illusion of narrowing your waist.
The dress is by Erdem, a brand renowned for bold floral motifs that are synonymous with both femininity and power. This piece currently sells for £2,865 and is truly sensational. The dark purple leaves and deep pink flowers enhance the dress without creating an overwhelming pattern, and the added bow-detail draws attention to the centre of her silhouette for a dramatic finishing touch.
Of course, Erdem's most famous fan is the Princess of Wales, but Hollywood A-lister Calista Flockheart also wore the very same gown to the Critics Choice Awards back in January.
For those looking to replicate Kylie’s stunning look without spending a fortune, we’ve found some fabulous high street alternatives that capture the same essence for a fraction of the price. Style these with heels, or your best white trainers in the warmer months for a stylish summer look.
