Fashionable silhouettes and styles of evening dresses 2017.
It seems that one of the evening fashion trends this year will be sexuality. You have already noticed that most models have high slits and necklines.
Dresses with a straight silhouette or silhouette A are few. In addition to the shine, almost every model has a short train or asymmetrical bodice. A classic example is Freida Pinto in Elie Saab.
An example of a harmonious image is Shanina Shaik in an emerald-colored dress, unusual for this year. A sexy dress with a deep neckline and a high slit goes harmoniously with a necklace and clutch, hair and makeup.

For Hepburn's role in the film Breakfast at Tiffany's, which was released in 1961, three versions of the dress were created. Hepburn appeared on screen wearing one of these dresses in the opening scenes of the famous romantic comedy based on the novel by American writer Truman Capote. The main character of the film, Holly Golightly, gets out of a taxi in a black dress on a deserted morning 5th Avenue in New York and heads to the Tiffany jewelry store, chewing breakfast from a paper bag as she goes.
* Marilyn Monroe
This dress has its own name - "Happy Birthday" and its own fascinating romantic story.
In March 1961, actress Marilyn Monroe was offered to sing for US President John Kennedy at the upcoming celebration of his birthday. The celebrations were to take place in the most prestigious concert hall, Madison Square Garden. Marilyn agreed and began to prepare for the performance, but in her own way... She turned to the most famous fashion designer in America at that time, Jean Louis, with a clearly formulated order: to make for her “a truly historical, extraordinary dress, the likes of which have never been made before.” who wasn't there." “In a word,” the actress emphasized, “it should be something that only I can wear.”
And now, the culmination of the event is Marilyn Monroe's performance on May 19, 1962 at a gala concert in Madison Square Garden on the occasion of John F. Kennedy's anniversary. Until the very last moment before going on stage, she remained tightly wrapped in fur in order to avoid scandal and the ban on singing in such an outfit, which could well be expected from the organizers of the holiday. But when she appeared before the public, there was a shock - the noble assembly could not come to their senses: Monroe’s luxurious figure, sparkling with diamond sparks, appeared in all its charming charm. Without giving anyone time to come to their senses, she, addressing the presidential box, sang “Happy Birthday, Mister President!” Subsequently, the actress recalled: “When I found myself in front of the ramp to sing, I felt the audience’s breath taken away - everyone thought that I was completely naked...”.

Singer Björk's famous swan outfit. The star shone in it at the 2001 Oscars. This outfit from Marjan Pejoski became the reason for a lot of gossip and left no one indifferent - the dress either really liked it or evoked a lot of negative emotions.

* Lady Gaga

The dress was condemned by humane societies, but was described by Time magazine as the top fashion statement of 2010.
We cannot help but pay tribute to the Western stars we saw in 2016 to our compatriots. Every day preparing for their appearance at social events, they tried no less than Hollywood luminaries. Some of them dreamed of the title of style icon and won general applause, others preferred to shock, attracting no less attention to their person, and still others demonstrated such controversial images that they divided readers into two armies - admirers and opponents. Having appreciated the efforts made by celebrities in the fight for the attention of the audience, we remembered the most discussed star looks of the outgoing 2016.
One of the most striking fashion images of the year was presented to us by the hostess of the award ceremony, Svetlana Bondarchuk, who appeared at the gala evening in a magnificent Alena Akhmadullina dress.
Designer Alena Akhmadullina
The "waves" on Svetlana's dress are made of five shades of red chiffon - signature for HELLO! magazine. They twist in different directions, creating a complex, loose texture. The bright dress became a worthy backdrop for Svetlana’s beauty.
Anastasia Romantsova in A La Russe Anastasia Romantsova
Another one of the most distinguished was the guest of the April celebration in honor of designer Anastasia Romantsova in the hotly discussed on the site Firebird image, composed of a spectacular skirt made of lush feathers A LA Russe Anastasia Romantsova and a strict white shirt. Accessories include a necklace under a tightly buttoned collar, a long earring and a belt with a large buckle at the waist.

This is one of my favorite looks of 2016. And like all our favorites - assembled spontaneously in ten minutes. I went to the celebration in honor of Elle’s 20th anniversary immediately after the show of our autumn-winter collection on Red Square, and I did not deny myself the pleasure of being the first to appear in a skirt from the catwalk. I'm a big fan of white shirts, so I pulled this look together very easily by adding one long earring and a sleek necklace.
A classic combination for the evening is the perfect crisp white shirt and an intricate floor-length skirt. I love this shape of the skirt - narrow at the hips, but with a slight flare and a small train at the bottom. And, of course, feathers are incredibly feminine and solemn! Therefore, in addition - the most simple hairstyle: a low bun.
Renata Litvinova in Gosha Rubchinskiy
At the fall show of Gosha Rubchinskiy, creative director of Vetements and Balenciaga Demna Gvasalia was seen wearing Converse sneakers with the inscription “Zemfira”, and later his “fan kit” was replenished with a hoodie with the name of his favorite singer, whose songs the designer has been listening to since he was 16 years old. Demna Gvasalia created a hoodie with embroidery and Zemfira print under the Vetements brand in a limited edition of 50 copies. One of them went to another Zemfira fan, Renata Livtinova.
However, this was only the beginning of the actress's passion for popular street aesthetics. She also appreciated the creativity of another hero of modern fashion - the already mentioned Gosha Rubchinsky, in a sweater with the inscription "Save and Preserve" from whose collection the actress appeared in the film anthology "Peter. Only for Love." Her shocking gesture was appreciated by everyone..
WITH The style of Gosha Rubchinsky and Demna Gvasalia has captured not only the minds of fashionistas all over the planet, but also their colleagues in the design workshop. The latter have already taken a liking to street aesthetics and have made their clients fall in love with it. A striking example -The image of Elena Temnikova in Alexander Arutyunov caused a lot of excitement among our readers.
While models marched along the catwalk during the show in oversized hoodies with floor-length sleeves and belts made of canvas belts, Elena Temnikova, dressed in identical things, was already applauding them in the hall. Inspired by Rihanna's stage looks, the singer plays with contrast and combines marginal chic with sexy lace-up ankle boots.
Alexander Arutyunov
I listened to Lena’s new album and realized that this is the image that would reflect her new bold style and mood.
Presenter June award ceremony Ksenia Sobchak, as usual, managed to make several sharp jokes during the evening and demonstrate a number of spectacular toilets. Among the dresses in which Sobchak appeared in front of the guests were a snow-white two-tiered “sculpture” by Tegin, wine velvet by Ulyana Sergeenko, a black “tutu” with a swan figurine on the chest by Yulia Yanina, and, finally, an airy dress with puffed sleeves by Enteley . However, readers liked the first of the listed dresses more than others.
Designer Svetlana Tegin
When Ksenia Sobchak approached me with a proposal to create a dress for the MUZ-TV awards ceremony, no one knew that she was pregnant and no one should have known yet. Therefore, a super task was set - to come up with a style that would help keep this secret. Ksenia shared her thoughts, and, surprisingly, our ideas absolutely coincided. We discussed the possible options and I immediately selected the fabric, choosing a thick soft pink silk that suited the architectural shape of the cut. As a result, we made the dress with just one fitting.
We tried to create, first of all, a comfortable model - so that nothing would sting or tighten anywhere. And, amazingly, the dress fit perfectly right away. So I simply didn’t have an easier client.
One of the most talked-about fashion looks of the year was Paulina Andreeva’s evening dress on the red carpet of the Kinotavr 2016 film festival. It was Fyodor Bondarchuk’s first joint appearance with his new lover after his divorce from Svetlana Bondarchuk; all the attention of the press was focused on Paulina, so she simply had no chance of making a fashion mistake. The designer duo Bohemique made her the star of the red carpet that evening.

Especially for Paulina's appearance at the Kinotavr film festival, we created an evening dress based on the current collection - made of black muslin with an asymmetrical one-shoulder neckline. The model is decorated with an image of a Chinese dragon, hand-embroidered on the fabric with crystals. To complete the look, we chose Tiffany jewelry and Saint Laurent sandals.
Svetlana Ivanova in Yanina Couture
The star was Svetlana Ivanova, who appeared on the red carpet in a dress from Yulia Yanina’s “ballet” collection, which won universal admiration.
Designer Yulia Yanina
Svetlana is a thin, graceful and very refined girl, so we chose one of our hits for her appearance on the red carpet: a light, airy multi-layered dress in a smoky gray color, decorated with hand-embroidered irises. In combination with discreet makeup and collected hair, the final image turned out to be ideal for the aristocratic appearance of the actress.
The stars are supposed to “always shine, shine everywhere,” so the guests of the ceremonyeveryone appeared before the photographers in all their splendor. And in the literal sense of the word. Having decided that evening to shine, or rather to “overshine” each other, the star fashionistas united in the group “Brilliant” and dressed in outfits made of shimmering metallic fabrics or embroidered with sparkles and sequins that emitted rainbow reflections around the perimeter of the hall.
The brightest shiners that evening were Natalya Ionova in a LUVI trouser suit, Yana Rudkovskaya in cascades of silver and golden fringe from Valentino, and Anna Litvinova in a slip dress with thin straps from Alexander Terekhov. We put on dark glasses so as not to go blind from the glare!
Anna Litvinova
We came up with this weightless flowing dress together with Alexander in our next joint creative impulse. We chose a simple silhouette made of stunning fabric - silk with shiny lurex.
I rarely resort to jewelry to complement and complete my look. In this case, I also decided to do without them. After all, I am and there is a beautiful dress created by my beloved Alexander Terekhov, which adorns me!
Dina Nemtsova in Edem Couture
Having studied in detail the outfits of the main characters and guests, we traditionally discussed them with you, offering to choose the best evening dress for the celebration. We gave the opportunity to claim victory both to the debutantes themselves and to their already experienced “colleagues in social life.” However, all of them were left far behind in the reader's vote by debutante Dina Nemtsova in an Edem Couture ballgown - the 14-year-old daughter of Boris Nemtsov and Ekaterina Odintsova.
According to Ekaterina Odintsova herself, she was inspired to choose Dina’s image for the Ball by the image of Natasha Rostova, the portraits of Anna Kern and the graphics of Nadya Rusheva. The famous mother wanted to emphasize her daughter’s character - creative and intelligent:
She is a very pure and gentle “Turgenev” girl. That is why we could not choose a ready-made dress from the couture collections of world brands, but created a unique outfit together with the designers of Edem Couture. We tried to emphasize the youth, freshness and romantic mood of our debutante. I wanted people to see Dina the way I see her.
Dina Nemtsova
At the ball, I felt unusually light, even though I was a little nervous. White color is one of my favorites, it improves your state of mind and gives you a bright mood, which is very important at such an event, and in life in general. The dress was imbued with the spirit of the 19th century, but in no way was it carnival. There was tenderness and lightness in him. In general, I felt comfortable and at the same time solemn.
In addition, I really liked the combination of the dress with Chanel jewelry. They did not burden the image, but only delicately emphasized the holiday atmosphere. The hairstyle was laconic, but at the same time extraordinary, plus the makeup was just right for her age. My face remains mine.
Dasha Zhukova in Ulyana Sergeenko
In the same vein, though less solemn, is the imageguest of honor of the gala Diana Vishneva Context Dasha Zhukova in a dressUlyana Sergeenko with a flared skirt and floral embroidery on the chest. Our readers unanimously rated it five plus. And we weren’t surprised.The gentle feminine image of Turgenev’s heroine, which, with the light hand of Ulyana Sergeenko, is tirelessly tried on by fashionistas of all the world’s fashion capitals, suits everyone.
Natalya Vodianova, the owner of the Naked Heart Foundation, also preferred Ulyana Sergeenko’s dress. A colorful bustier by Ulyana Sergeenko, more like a drawing, turned our heroine into an elegant, rosy doll. Opinions were divided: not everyone liked Natalya’s bright image, dividing our readers into two camps. Some are for, others are against.
Irina Shayk in Victoria's Secret
Our review ends with thunderousno less bright than everyone else, the participant's podium lookIrina Shayk. This is because after her appearance on the podium, what had long been rumored finally became obvious. An attempt to decorate the model’s rounded belly with a cloak failed - the belt on her belly only emphasized her shape, so there was no doubt left: the 30-year-old Russian supermodel is expecting a child! That same evening, insiders confirmed this information, but representatives of the star have so far refrained from commenting.
