The women's tuxedos we want this party season
Crack the dress code with the smartest ways to style black tie
The fabric
The tactile fluidity of velvet lends innate sex appeal to a traditional dinner jacket: jewel tones are a failsafe paired with contrasting silk-satin lapels and palazzo-style pants.

The fusion
Channel Michael Urie’s half-and-half look at the Met Gala earlier this year with Redemption’s cutaway tail coat and sequin minidress.

The finery
Instead of a bow tie, layer up this winter’s most versatile accessory: a chunky gold necklace (or three).

The fragrance
Black Tie is from Celine’s first scent collection in 50 years.
