Quick answer

White
White belongs to the bride. The Madeline Halterneck White Gown is the bridal take on the signature halter, and the Madeline Diamond White Halterneck Mini is the rehearsal dinner dress. Read our Bronx and Banco bridal guide for the full weekend.
Gold and silver
Metallics are for parties. The High Neck Embellished Gold Maxi Dress suits a gold dress code, and the Maraya Silver Sequin Mini Dress is a New Year's Eve classic. More in our gold evening gowns edit.
Red and burgundy
Burgundy is the colour of Fall Winter 2026. The Madeline Halterneck Burgundy Gown, the Brielle Burgundy Gown and the Camila Burgundy Cutout Maxi Dress all come in it. For a brighter red, the Sleeveless Red Rhinestone Maxi Dress is the statement. Both work at galas and winter weddings; see our burgundy gowns guide.
Emerald and sage
Green covers two moods. Emerald is deep and formal: the Madeline Halterneck Emerald Gown is one of the strongest black tie gowns of the season. Sage is soft and fresh: the Brielle Sage Diamond Gown is the colour Jennifer Lopez wore in May 2026. Explore both in our emerald gown edit and sage green dresses.
Blue and purple
Blue is the safest bold colour for a wedding guest. The Geisha V-Neck Indigo Gown is a deep blue V-neck, and the Long Sleeve Sequin Navy Maxi Dress adds sparkle. The Ashanti V-Neck Lavender Organza Gown is the soft purple option for spring.
Pink
Pink is the romantic choice for day weddings and spring events. The Chiffon Blush Cape Gown is a pale pink column with cape sleeves.
Brown and black
The new outerwear lives in camel and brown: the Long Teddy Coat, the Vegan Camel Leather Trench Coat and the croc-embossed separates, alongside the Brielle Brown Diamond Gown. Black is the easiest colour for evening, from the Rosalie Noir Gown to the Long Sleeve Velvet and Lace Mini Dress.

Spring racing in Australia: dressing by colour
Bronx and Banco began in Sydney, and the Australian spring racing season, which builds to the Melbourne Cup on the first Tuesday of November, is one of the busiest times of year for occasion dressing there. Each Melbourne Cup Carnival day has its own colour tradition. Derby Day is black and white, so monochrome is right: a zebra print such as the Madeline Zebra Halterneck Gown works for the evening events around the races. Oaks Day favours florals and soft colour, a natural fit for the Jasmine Floral Strapless Pastel Gown family of florals. Cup Day is the day for bright, confident colour. Racing is a day event, so choose shorter hems, add a headpiece and leave the heaviest embellishment for the evening.
Frequently asked questions
What colour is Bronx and Banco sage?
Sage is a soft, grey-toned green. It is the colour of the Brielle gown Jennifer Lopez wore at LALIFF in May 2026.
Can I wear a white Bronx and Banco dress to a wedding?
Only if you are the bride. Guests should choose a colour instead of white and ivory.
What is the best Bronx and Banco colour for winter?
Burgundy and emerald lead Fall Winter 2026, and both suit galas and winter weddings.
Is emerald a black tie colour?
Yes. Deep jewel tones such as emerald look formal and rich at night, especially in a long gown.
What colour is Bronx and Banco indigo?
Indigo sits between blue and purple. On the Geisha gown it reads as deep blue; on the Amara silk gown it reads closer to purple.
What colour should I wear to Derby Day?
Black and white. It is the long standing Derby Day tradition at the Melbourne Cup Carnival, so a monochrome dress with a black and white headpiece is the classic choice.
