It’s funny how I always end up wearing a yellow dress when I’m in France! I wore this gorgeous Mugler gown (like this one) to the Vogue Paris Foundation Dinner as a guest of Mugler and David Koma himself. The event was filled with the who’s who of fashion and it was such an honor to attend. When deciding what to wear, I knew I wanted to go with something subtle yet sexy. So in a world of black and white, I chose to go yellow! Although the silhouette of this dress was quite simple and classic the details were far from simple. From the gorgeous neckline to the impeccable details, this dress made me feel like a million bucks! I love that the yellow has a more gold hue so I added an extra little punch with a bold pink lip and a super sleek side braid to complete the look.
Trust me, I love a good LBD as much as the next girl, but sometimes you’ve got to mix it up! Check out below for my colorful picks, and once again thank you to Mugler have me at my very first Vogue Paris Foundation Dinner. It was truly an honor and a dream come true!

The side braid Chriselle, the side braid. I love it so much. Gives you an extra edgy but oh so classic look. I almost wish you would sport a braid more often.

I recently attended a wedding and I knew everyone was going to be in really subtle colours. Since it was a summer wedding, I decided to go for yellow and it was such a hit! It really helped me stand out but not too much and it’s all about the details – just like your gorgeous yellow dress! You look stunning, and the little details like the braid in your hair, really stand out!

Love the post. I purposely try to avoid black for events whenever I can. I think picking a bold colour (especially if you are pale) makes a statement. If I do wear a LBD, I tend to go for a bold lip or eye look for some drama.
I like the way you think! Thank you for reading. xoxo
The Vogue event sounds an amazing experience! You look absolutely stunning in this dress and always 🙂
Happy August!

Generally, I’m a fan of neutrals but there are times when you do got to switch it up – at your own pace though! I’m a fan of a bold and sleek red gown with a slit 🙂
