Monaco, the undisputed capital of all things glamourous, is famed for its billionaire residents, upscale entertainment and James Bond-worthy casino. With its shimmering coastlines, indulgent shopping experiences and endless array of upmarket bars and restaurants, visitors to the city-state truly come to see and be seen.
What’s the dress code for one of Europe’s most stylish stopovers? In one word: fabulous.
Nothing is too out-there when it comes to wowing your peers in Monaco. In fact, the more opulent, the better! Visitors parade the streets like catwalks in an endless display of their extravagance – expect couture with your morning coffee and bikinis paired with Birkins on the beach.
Inspired by the old-world opulence of Versailles and its legendary courtesan Madam de Pompadour, Balmain’s pre-fall 2016 collection boasts the perfect statement pieces to turn a few perfectly coiffured heads in Monaco.
Few fabrics scream ‘fabulous’ more than crushed velvet, so this LBD from the collection is ideal, whether you’re sipping bubbles at Grand Prix or trying your hand at Black Jack. Adorned with glistening strings of faux pearls and oversized crystal embellishments, its high hemline, plunging neckline and sharp shoulders epitomise Balmain luxury – and will certainly get you noticed.
Pair with killer black stilettos and a glass of Dom P for best results.
