Costarellos Red Gowns: The Linsa Red Lace Gown and How to Wear Red at Night

Red is the colour of a winter evening, and the Costarellos Linsa gown is the house’s red gown for Fall Winter 2026: fluid silk georgette, a deep V neckline and corded lace appliqué across the bodice and hips. It is one of the new red evening gowns at Coveti for $3,730, and the same cut comes in black at Costarellos at Coveti.

The Linsa, in detail

The Linsa is a sleeveless gown with a deep V at the front and a lower V at the back. The lace is corded, which means the outline of each motif is raised with a fine cord, so it reads as texture against the matte georgette. The house describes the shape as a fitted waist with a relaxed A-line skirt, so it moves when you walk instead of clinging. Silk georgette is light, which makes it one of the few winter gowns that is comfortable in a warm ballroom.

How to wear a red gown

Choose one supporting colour and keep it quiet. Gold jewellery warms the red; silver and pearl cool it down. A nude satin sandal lengthens the leg, and a black pump makes it look more formal. Red lipstick is optional; a matched red can look deliberate, a slightly different red looks like a mistake, so match it in daylight before the event, and if it does not match, wear a neutral lip. For cover over the shoulders, a black wrap reads more formal than a coloured one. More red options from other houses sit in our edit of red dresses.

Is red right for a wedding?

At an evening wedding with a black tie dress code, a red gown is usually fine, but it pulls attention. If the couple have a colour palette, ask first. The black Linsa is the safer choice for the ceremony. For more on wedding dress codes, read Costarellos wedding guest dresses.

Wearing it around the world

United Kingdom and Europe: winter black tie means a long wool coat over the gown and a closed pump; sheer black tights are fine under a long hem. North America: gala season runs from November to February, and a gown with a cover for the shoulders works for both the ceremony and the dinner. Gulf states: evening dress codes often ask for covered shoulders and arms, so pair a sleeveless gown with a long sleeve bolero and a wrap, and choose floor length. Australia: the party season falls in summer, so the lighter georgette gowns suit outdoor evenings better than velvet. Coveti ships Costarellos worldwide.

How Costarellos sizing works

Costarellos cuts in French sizes, FR 34 to FR 46 for most gowns. Subtract 28 for the UK size: FR 36 is a UK 8 and a US 4. Most styles carry the house note “true to size”, and the model on the brand site is 180cm wearing FR 36. Where a style fits differently, the note on the product page says so, and the table above repeats it. For measurements, read the Costarellos size guide.
