The Top 5 Evening Wear Trends To Wear Now From Paris Fashion Week
Paris Fashion Week always sets the tone for what’s next, and this season’s evening wear trends did not disappoint. From the runway to the front row attendees, designers brought us bold, whimsical moments that’ll easily translate into your wardrobe. As a fashion editor, I’ve got my eye on the five top trends you need to know now. Whether you’re looking to make a statement or keep things refined, brands like Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabbana have what you need to elevate your evening attire.
1. Flower Power
Florals have always been a classic, but this season’s take is all about exaggerated prints and unexpected textures. For instance, we saw oversized floral appliqués and intricate embroidery bringing depth and dimension to evening wear. Personally, I’m loving how designers are pushing boundaries by incorporating florals in a modern way. While this is a SS25 trend, you can bring it into fall with Amanda Uprichard’s Magnolia maxi. Florals are one of the most timeless patterns you can wear.
Fashion Takes An Artistic Approach
2. Maximalism
If simplicity isn’t your style, PFW’s evening wear trends have you covered with the return of maximalism. Without a doubt, more is definitely more, with sequins and voluminous silhouettes making a loud comeback. In a world where minimalism took over for so long, it’s refreshing to see dress trends that celebrate extravagance. I love how the runway showed us that playing with textures and volume can add a chic vibe to your wardrobe. Take a cue from this Zuhair Murad gown, a gem that screams maximalist glamour.
3. Bold Draping
Draping has been seen in evening wear for decades, but this season, designers are taking it to another level. Specifically, we’re talking exaggerated folds and sculptural shapes that create movement and drama with every step. It’s an editor’s dream to see dresses that balance artistry with wearability. My top pick for bold draping would definitely be this Alexander McQueen silk gown. As someone who gravitates towards fitted pieces, this one wins the dress trends list. Although simple, it’s a stunning work of art.

Feminine Empowerment
4. Balletcore
Don’t be surprised to see balletcore on this list of evening wear dress trends. This feminine theme continues to dominate, and it’s one I’m surprisingly obsessed with. The soft, ethereal energy of ballet-inspired styles translate beautifully on the runway. We saw plenty of tulle, satin, and soft pastels that felt light and romantic yet undeniably sophisticated. A dress like the Aje Nova midi captures the essence of ballet chic. And because the trend is both delicate and impactful, it’s a go-to for fall soirées.
5. Delicate Lace
