Champagne Gowns: 10 Designer Champagne Evening Gowns

A champagne gown sits between gold and ivory: warm enough to flatter, pale enough to look formal. The best ones are beaded, because a champagne cloth on its own can look flat in photographs. We start with Jenny Packham and its pale gold Illusion and Ammonite shades, then add Maria Lucia Hohan, Simkhai, Self Portrait and Emilia Wickstead. More in designer evening gowns and gold evening gowns.

How to choose a champagne shade

Look at the gown next to your face in daylight. If the colour makes your skin look grey, go warmer; if it disappears into your skin, go deeper and add more beading. A gown with sleeves breaks up a champagne column so it does not read as bare skin in photographs; read Jenny Packham long sleeve dresses. For warmer gold see Jenny Packham gold dresses.

How to style a champagne gown

Gold jewellery warms champagne, silver cools it; choose one. Nude heels lengthen the leg and disappear under the hem. A deep colour clutch, burgundy, emerald, navy, gives the eye a point to land. For a black tie event see black tie dresses; for a cold venue a beaded cape like the Astralis Cape in Moonstone keeps the champagne theme.

Frequently asked questions

Can you wear a champagne gown to a wedding?

Yes, as a guest, as long as it is clearly not bridal. A beaded champagne gown with sleeves, a cape and colour accessories reads as evening, not wedding.

What is the difference between champagne and gold?

Champagne is paler with grey and pink undertones; gold is warmer and more yellow.

What colour shoes go with a champagne gown?

Nude, gold and soft metallic. Avoid stark white and black.

Which designers make champagne gowns?

At Coveti: Jenny Packham, Maria Lucia Hohan, Simkhai, Emilia Wickstead, Self Portrait and Huishan Zhang, among others.

Is champagne a good colour for black tie?

Yes. Beaded champagne is one of the most formal colours there is.
