How To Pull Off A Tuxedo Dress

Tuxedo dresses are having a serious fashion moment right now. Easy to wear (you literally just throw it on and accessorize), it's taken over the red carpet in the past year and quickly becoming a high street fave. Here's how to wear it like the A-listers and influencers. 

Hailey Bieber seems to be a huge fan of tuxedo dresses, opting for a sequined, deep V black tuxedo dress, which she belted at the waist, at a recent event. Paired with strappy pointed heels, she kept her makeup natural and hair laid-back to let her statement tuxedo dress do the talking. Perfect for glamorous nights out on the town, follow Bieber's lead and don't forget to use double-sided tape around the bust if necessary. 

Alexa Chung is one of Britain's most famous fashionistas, and no matter what she wears, she always looks classy. When it comes to tuxedo dresses, gold accents and a bold red lip are all you need according to Alexa, who completes the look with strappy pointed heels and a simple black clutch. Being the style icon she is, she's also wearing a subtle black undergarment to cover her chest, which is always a good idea if you're heading somewhere slightly more formal, or in some cases, more casual — like a trendy restaurant.

When it comes to fashion, Olivia Culpo can do no wrong, so follow her lead play with texture if you're wanting to wear a tuxedo dress in the day. Channelling an '80s-style look, Culpo opts for big shoulders and a cinched waist in a leather tuxedo dress. You could easily do the same or try a sleeveless tuxedo dress, linen tuxedo dress, or even a colored tuxedo dress instead — basically whatever you feel most comfortable in. Just as Alexa Chung and Hailey Bieber have done, Culpo keeps her makeup natural, hair loose, and accessories to a minimum.
