like this dress for a formal event? if so, which color??

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

gorgeous dress. i think the classic bet is a good one for buying online in a time-crunch. Navy

Boots · Gucci

That is some serious pretty there. I love it. I like the idea of navy too. Less expected than black.

Kelly · Hermes

SO pretty. Reminds me of Angelina Jolie.

I like navy the best but I don't think you can go wrong either way

I usually love navy & it's a beautiful shade here, but this dress I personally prefer in black - looks richer. I'd pick a different shoe, than on the pic - the model has very unflattering shoe to her toes...

twinkle_star · Kenneth Cole

I love it, so classic and elegant. I'd definitely go with the navy (although I'm a pale blonde and black is sometimes too harsh on me).

alb · Marc Jacobs

Wow - thanks, everyone, for the great feedback! I just ordered the navy. Second question - what color shoes and clutch? I'm thinking some ype of silver or gumetal clutch and strappy silver shoes is all I can come up with.

Would black patent peeptoes be a huge no no with navy or does that not matter any more?? It's been a long time since I've had to dress up this much, so any help is appreciated.

Suasoria · Chanel

Gorgeous - LOVE. I'm only into the black but that's because I hate navy - partly because of the accessory issue. I don't like black with navy at all. I suggest a nude shade or maybe champagne, and something bare that wouldn't interrupt the line of the slit.

alb · Marc Jacobs

thanks, Suasoria - looking for champagne shoes now.

Yana · Dooney & Bourke

I think navy is great with metals (silver, gold, gun mental, bronze ) & creams. I'd stay away from black patent - clashing in a wrong way. POst a pic of yourself later when you're fully dressed with accessories! EXCITING!
