I’m always in a good mood as long as I’m sparkling, which is why I personally adore this gown’s shimmering finish and I know you will, too. It’s the perfect combination of modern and timeless because of the black colour, mock neck styling and a sheer mesh panel at the front.

I like when brands put extra thought in their designs and offer underlining to provide the wearer the coverage they need. I should also mention that the back zipper closure makes putting it on very easy and gives the perfect fit.

This gown is a must-have for me for any memorable occasion, especially new year celebrations, cocktails and other after-parties

I styled the look with the Saint Laurent Missy 110mm Mesh Sandals. I love pairing these beauties with the Houston Gown because of the mesh detailing to create a cohesive style. The ankle straps provide support, while the towering heels leave you looking tall.

I styled the look with the Alaïa Le Cœur Leather Cross-Body Bag. This adds that romantic charm to the overall ensemble because of its heart-shaped design. The spacious single main compartment effortlessly stores all your essentials in one place, hung by a delicate yet durable shoulder strap.

This gown’s sequin adornments are prone to snags, so I generally avoid wearing heavily embellished accessories to prevent the damage.
