Ciao bella! For what to wear to this American-Italian benefit, we flew straight to NET-A-PORTER and found two stunning dresses by Notte by Marchesa, which is named after Italian socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati. One look at these stunning black silk dresses and it’s no wonder why Notte by Marchesa is the style set’s label of choice for classic after-dark glamour. On the left, jewel-encrusted shoulders and sheer blouson sleeves lend this piece just the right amount of drama. And on the right, black silk and feather-weight lace are an exquisite ode to the season’s gothic romance, and ruffled balloon sleeves make an elegant contrast to the tailored body, creating a sophisticated silhouette. Team these with subtly patterned pumps, a metallic or solid black clutch, and statement earrings for a look that’s certifiably chic.
