SILVER STREAK

JOIN A METAL BAND!

From gowns to galoshes, the second place medal comes in first!

This Brian Reyes silver and gold lamé dress, pictured at left, is sultry and sexy, with a delicate chiffon overlay and keyhole back detail. Even better, it's currently on sale at shopbop.com!

The black straps on this Philosophy di Alberta Feretti ruffled satin dress make it very “of the moment” (at right, for purchase at Neiman Marcus). And the gathered side makes for a forgiving fit for a historically difficult to wear shiny silk fabric!

This ABS metallic brocade sheath dress is deceptively simple, with a lovely textured fabric and flirty a-line shape (at Bloomingdale’s).

Or, gild any dress with an incredible (and surprisingly affordable!) Fallon Mesh Bandana Necklace. This and other amazing one-of-a-kind jewels are at Barneys New York – check them out!

For the ultimate in luxe silver, privileged are the few who get to wear Chanel Couture, like this gorgeous star brooch-detailed gown for the Spring 2008 Collection. Detail photo at left courtesy style.com.

Perhaps a bit more difficult to wear than a shiny frock, but certainly no less dramatic, is this Jean Paul Gaultier silver trench from the Spring RTW (runway shot at right via nymag.com/fashion). Maybe it's a tad Samantha on Sex and the City, but it could work splendidly for the right evening event. Shine on, darlings!
