Blue Evening Gowns: Navy, Sky Blue, Teal and Cobalt, From 16 Houses

Blue evening gowns are the safest bold choice in eveningwear: almost every skin tone has a blue that suits it, and almost every dress code accepts one. This edit picks 19 blue gowns in stock at Coveti, from $1,210 to $40,330, across navy, midnight, sky and ice blue, teal and electric blue. Start with the shade, then the cloth.

Key facts

Navy and midnight

Navy is the black-tie blue. It reads almost as formal as black, softer under flash. The Safiyaa Raha Midnight Navy Long Dress keeps a smooth crepe surface, the Marmar Halim Off-Shoulder Pleated Silk Dress hand-pleats navy silk, and the Gemy Maalouf Asymmetrical Ruffled Draped Navy Dress adds a ruffle. Wear navy with silver and diamonds.

Ice and sky blue

Pale blues belong to daytime and summer weddings. The Oscar de la Renta Ombre Feather Embroidered Silk Chiffon Gown is the statement, the Saiid Kobeisy Ruffle Embroidered Long Dress in Ice Blue is embroidered at one shoulder, and the Emilia Wickstead Megara Dress in icy blue cloque suits a mother of the bride.

Teal, cobalt and electric blue

The bright blues are for a gala. The Costarellos Aliska gown puts electric blue velvet under beaded lace, the Alex Perry strapless dress in teal crepe is pure architecture, and the David Koma Crystal Leaf Corset Gown adds silver crystals to blue satin. Gold jewellery warms teal; silver sharpens cobalt.

Choosing a blue

Hold the shade to your face in daylight. Cool skin suits navy, ice and cobalt; warm skin suits teal and peacock. For a wedding, check the colour of the bridesmaids first, since blue is a common choice for them. Marmar Halim has its own blue edit: Marmar Halim blue dresses.

Frequently asked questions

What colour shoes go with a blue evening gown?

Silver and nude suit every blue. Navy shoes extend the line of a navy gown; metallic gold works with teal.

Is a blue gown appropriate for black tie?

Yes. Navy and midnight blue are as formal as black. Choose a floor-length gown in a heavy cloth such as crepe, satin and faille.

Can I wear blue to a wedding?

Yes. Pale blues suit day weddings, navy suits evening ones. Check the bridesmaid colour so you do not match the wedding party.

What jewellery goes with a navy gown?

Silver, white gold and diamonds. Pearls work for a softer look.

In this edit, $1,210 to $40,330. Contemporary labels start near $1,200; couture and embroidered gowns run far higher.
