For the “Valentino Black Tie” Fall / Winter 2023 collection, the Italian Maison challenges the ultimate sartorial convention, the black tie—reinterpreting it in countless iterations to dismantle its rigid connotations of masculine power. Together with its trusty white collar, the skinny black ValenTie morphs into flirty black minis, appears natural under oversized striped knits and luxe outerwear, contrasts coolly with sublime gowns, and is right at home with variations on classic shirting.
This strapless top has a ruched and draped silhouette featuring an off-the-shoulder neckline and floor-grazing train. Wear yours with a pair of tailored pants and slingback pumps for a stunning evening edit—that isn't your typically gown.
