Always ahead of the curve, we asked her to share the colours, accessories and styling details she thinks will set the tone for event dressing this season. ByEmma Bigger [ Save To My Favourites ](/user/login?destination=/markdownify/node/52799) Image: @sasha__fuks All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products. [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/kFxTMvxRTFJz4S9iP4nZvWsd774=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F06%2Fsl-080626-marina-didovich-guide-to-evening-dressing-1.jpg) ](https://gia-studios.com/) @Gia_Studios ## It’s In The Details Event dressing this season is all about refinement. From stand collars and chic fastenings to rich silks and architectural silhouettes – all these details are bringing a sense of quiet drama to 2026 occasion wear. The mood is polished and intentional, balancing a vintage vibe with a modern feel. [Sau Lee](https://www.sau-lee.com/) is a standout brand, while vintage lovers should look to [The RealList](https://reallist.com/) archive for one-off treasures. ## Sculptural Accessories When it comes to accessories, the focus has shifted towards organic, sculptural shapes. Tassels, resin, natural shells and handcrafted textures all add interest without overwhelming a look, making them the perfect complement to an outfit. Think statement earrings, artful cuffs and textured clutches that feel elevated rather than trend-led. [Jasmin Sparrow](https://jasminsparrow.com/), [Pógu](https://pogugallery.com/) and [Le Sundial](https://lesundial.com/) are doing this particularly well. ## The Luxury Of Craftsmanship Fabrication is taking centre stage, with craftsmanship replacing excess. Delicate embroidery, rich brocades and subtle trims bring depth and texture to modern silhouettes, creating pieces that feel luxurious without appearing overworked. [Connor Ives](https://connerives.com/) encapsulates this perfectly, blending nostalgia with polish. [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/dLI1al_dWGlnEpFqbKkZ2c0dAQw=/800x0/smart/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F06%2Fsl-080626-marina-didovich-guide-to-evening-dressing-2.jpg) ](https://pogugallery.com/) @Pogu.Gallery ## Butter Is The New Neutral Butter yellow is still the season's most sophisticated neutral. Softer than white and warmer than beige, it brings an effortless lightness to event dressing while still feeling elevated. Whether worn head-to-toe or paired with chocolate, espresso or black accents, it's a shade that feels timeless and photographs beautifully. [Albus Lumen](https://www.albuslumen.com/)'s latest velvet pieces are so covetable. ## The Power Of A Great Clutch Accessories continue to define the overall mood of an outfit and few pieces feel as relevant right now as a great clutch. Metal designs paired with sculptural jewellery create a modern finish, while silk pouches and gathered satin styles offer a softer take on evening glamour. [Ayllón](https://ayllon.co/) is a go-to for contemporary pouches, while [Etsy](https://www.awin1.com/cread.php?awinmid=6091&awinaffid=69421&ued=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2F) remains a treasure trove for vintage-inspired clutches. ## The Case For Flats Perhaps the most unexpected shift in occasion wear is the move towards flats. Ballet pumps, satin slippers and even minimalist flip-flop sandals are bringing a fresh, fashion-forward edge to evening dressing. The contrast between glamorous pieces and grounded footwear feels modern, confident and refreshingly effortless. [TOTEME](https://www.tkqlhce.com/click-3836078-15783931?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftoteme.com%2Fen-gb) has long championed this aesthetic and continues to lead the way. [ ![](https://media.sheerluxe.com/sVUOm03aPjrpey2X3cr9rO5gr7s=/1920x0/smart/filters:no_upscale()/https%3A%2F%2Fsheerluxe.com%2Fsites%2Fsheerluxe%2Ffiles%2Farticles%2F2026%2F06%2Fsl-080626-marina-didovic-guide-to-evening-dressing-3-new.jpg) ](https://www.instagram.com/marina_didovich/?hl=en) @AlbusLumen; @TheRow; Mango; @Pogu.Gallery ## If You Must Wear Heels For those who still favour a heel, opt for a flip-flop silhouette. Clean, minimal and undeniably cool, it instantly modernises even the most formal look. [Alaïa](https://www.maison-alaia.com/en-gb/)'s sculptural leather styles are among the season's strongest offerings, while [Mango](https://click.linksynergy.com/deeplink?id=etT1jgERWYw&mid=36057&murl=https%3A%2F%2Fshop.mango.com%2Fgb%2Fen%2Fh%2Fwomen)'s latest designs channel the same understated appeal at a more accessible price point. ## Tassels Take Centre Stage One trend that's impossible to ignore this season is tassels. Appearing everywhere from jewellery and bags to hemlines and ready-to-wear, they bring movement, texture and subtle glamour to a look. The key is choosing styles that feel refined rather than overtly decorative. [Esse](https://essestudios.com/)'s latest collection delivers exactly that, while [Paolo Sebastian](https://paolosebastian.com/)'s couture creations offer a more dramatic interpretation. Look to [@Sasha\_\_Fuks](https://www.instagram.com/p/DU-j-4MDB3e/?utm_source=ig_embed) for styling inspo - instinctive, undone glamour that feels fresh for now.

Thanks in part to [The Row](https://www.therow.com/en-gb), polished barrettes, sculptural metal clips and tortoiseshell details are adding a considered, fashion-led element to event dressing. Worn with loose waves, a slicked-back bun or a centre parting, they offer an easy way to elevate a look without overpowering it. ## Opera Gloves, Reimagined For maximum impact, consider the timeless appeal of a black opera glove. Styled against a monochrome cream or white ensemble, it creates a striking contrast that feels both classic and contemporary. Whether paired with sharp tailoring or a fluid gown, it's a styling trick that instantly evokes old-Hollywood glamour. [Cornelia James](https://www.corneliajames.com/) remains the gold standard, while [Dents](https://www.dentsgloves.com/) has some equally elegant alternatives. This [@Modeamour](https://www.instagram.com/p/DQG6-WkDLQ1/?utm_source=ig_embed) look is a masterclass in styling gloves - elevating an otherwise minimalist silhouette and making the whole outfit feel infinitely more fashion forward. *Follow* [@MARINA\_DIDOVICH](https://www.instagram.com/marina_didovich/?hl=en) --- ## SHOP THE PRODUCTS ![Satin Shirt With Frog Fastening from
