Party season is upon us, which means it’s finally time to embrace the joy of getting dressed up for a month of festivities. Whether you’re attending a work event, a gala or an intimate dinner with friends, Victoria Beckham’s asymmetric midi dress will see you through any celebration in style. One of the designer’s personal favorites from her Resort ’25 collection, it’s cut on the bias from languid satin, with a twisted neckline and asymmetrically draped skirt evocative of elegant ’30s silhouettes.

“Victoria Beckham’s dress is a failsafe and super-flattering option for party season,” says NET-A-PORTER’s buying manager Phoebe Unwin. “The gorgeous ‘Fig’ shade works especially well with silver, so I would wear it with some barely-there sandals, such as Aeyde’s metallic leather ‘Hallie’ pair, and Lié Studio’s ‘The Sonya’ earrings, which are a brand favorite of mine,” she adds. Designed in a curved square shape, they are minimal enough to wear during the day, too. Finally, continue the theme of deep-jewel tones with The Row’s sleek ‘Amazon’ clutch in sumptuous burgundy.

Alternatively, if a dress isn’t your style, or you’d simply like to wear something a little more pared back, then a beautifully tailored blazer is the way to go. Loewe’s version is cut from wool in a flattering single-breasted shape, cinched with a detachable ‘Nest’ brooch – inspired by one of the label’s braided bags. Slip yours on over a lace camisole and classic indigo jeans, adding heels or ballet flats, depending on your plans.

Just when you thought Alaïa’s handbag offering couldn’t get any better, the brand releases a new version of its cult ‘Le Teckel’ bag in a chic envelope silhouette. Crafted from smooth calf hair, it’s dappled with statement-making leopard spots that will make any outfit pop, and has space inside for your phone and a small cosmetics case.
