Livia Nunes Marques’s Silk Dress Is A Show-Stopper—Here’s How To Get The Look
When Livia Nunes Marques’s dress made its appearance, it was a stunning reminder of how a black gown, when done right, is anything but ordinary. The floor-length black dress, with its elegant lace bodice and body-hugging silhouette, brings a timeless sophistication that every wardrobe can use.
While it’s known that I own too many black dresses myself, this one is an exception—especially when planning for special occasions. If you’re drawn to the effortless allure of Livia Nunes Marques’s dress, you’re in luck. Here’s how to recreate a similar look with pieces that capture its essence while adding your personal flair. Brands like Saint Laurent and SIR. have just the styles you need to bring this look home.
The Iconic Black Maxi Dress
There’s a reason the black maxi dress is a staple in eveningwear, and Livia Nunes Marques’s dress is proof why. A full-length gown in classic black instantly delivers sophistication and makes a powerful style statement without the need for over-accessorizing. A style like this Saint Laurent halterneck or Rolla’s Eliza dress can channel that same icon-in-the-making energy. Plus, these looks undeniably deliver an unmistakable allure.
When it comes to styling, keep accessories minimal but intentional. I love how Livia’s accessory stack is simple: watch, studs, and 2 rings. When it comes to bags, though, a sleek black or metallic clutch can bring polish to the look. The Valentino Vsling in particular is one of my favorites for more formal affairs. After all, the little pop of embellishments can really bring this look all together. By following her lead with a structured black maxi, Livia Nunes Marques’s dress proves that sometimes, classic with a twist is all you need.

The Allure of Lace
What makes Livia Nunes Marques’s dress unforgettable is the delicate lace detailing on the bodice. Let’s face it, we’re all not over lace just yet. I for one have been stocking on the textile ever since its comeback a couple of years ago. If you want to achieve this look, look for dresses that incorporate lace in unique ways. After all, you can never have too much of it. The Retrofête Jeanette dress is a great example of that. With its all-over lace skirt, this look captures the same level of intrigue.
Alternatively, a gown with peek-a-boo lace panel adds just the right amount of detail without overpowering the look. So, if you’re someone loving the lace trend but only want a little of it, peek at this Victoria Beckham midi—yes, midi. The beauty of Livia’s dress look lies in its simplicity, but also its lacey detailing. Although a gown, you too can get the same striking look with a black midi or maxi. As long as you have lace accents like these, you’re guaranteed to make a statement inspired by Livia Nunes Marques’s dress.
