If there is any designer who can spin the seemingly simple into sartorial gold dust, it's
Valentino's Pierpaolo Piccioli, and this mini dress is as sublime an example as any. A straightforward shift silhouette, it's cut to a fluttery A-line hem and dotted with a shock of frayed, raw-silk bows climbing up to the self-tie neck. Style it with your favourite glittery jewellery and heels: we reckon it has "special occasion" written all over it.
