Emerald Green Evening Gowns: Forest, Emerald and Sage Gowns for Every Formal Event
Emerald Green Evening Gowns: Forest, Emerald and Sage Gowns for Every Formal Event
Green is having its moment in evening wear, and the deeper the shade the better it looks after dark. Forest green and emerald flatter almost every skin tone, they suit winter events, and they are never mistaken for bridal. This is our edit of the best green evening gowns at Coveti, led by four new pieces from the Milan couture house Avaro Figlio.
Forest green from Avaro Figlio, Fall Winter 2026
Forest green is one of the key colours of the new Avaro Figlio collection, and the house uses it on its most dramatic shapes.
Forest Green Crystal Mermaid Maxi Dress
Long sleeves, a cowl at the neckline, crystal embellishment across a fitted body and a mermaid flare. The Forest Green Crystal Mermaid Maxi Dress is the black tie choice. $3,090.
Sequin Kimono Maxi Dress with Slit
Forest green cady with sequinned kimono sleeves that fall in long panels from the shoulder, and a slit for movement. The Sequin Kimono Maxi Dress is the one for a gala. $2,760.
Emerald and bright green
Carolina Herrera makes two of the best green gowns on Coveti: the Floral Cloque Lurex Jacquard Strapless Gown in Forest Green, which has a metallic thread in the cloth, and the Collared Halterneck Gown in Lawn Green. Oscar de la Renta has the Foxglove Embroidered Sequin Tulle Gown, and Simkhai cuts its Ora Satin Gown in Dark Spruce, a green so deep it reads almost black.
Sculptural green
For a creative black tie event, Viktor and Rolf makes the Bow Drape Gabardine Ball Gown in Green, and Erdem the Satin Seersucker Draped Gown.
Sage and mint for summer
Pale greens belong to daytime and summer weddings. Needle and Thread has a range of sequinned gowns in soft mint, including the Moonlight Sequin Draped Gown.
How to style a green gown
Jewellery: gold with forest green, diamonds with emerald. Shoes: gold, black and nude, never a different green. Bag: a gold clutch with forest green, silver with emerald. Make-up: a warm lip and bronze eye suit deep green; a red lip looks festive in December.
Where to wear it
Green is one of the best colours for a winter wedding and a gala. For the dress code rules, read our guide to black tie wedding guest dresses.

Frequently asked questions
Is green a good colour for a formal event?
Yes. Deep green is one of the most flattering evening colours, it suits winter events in particular, and it is never mistaken for bridal.
What is the difference between emerald green and forest green?
Emerald is a brighter, bluer green, like the gemstone. Forest green is darker and more muted, closer to a pine. Both read as jewel tones in evening light.
What jewellery goes with an emerald green gown?
Gold is the classic pairing with deep green. Diamonds and silver suit a cooler emerald. Avoid green stones that do not match the shade of the gown.
Can you wear a green dress to a wedding?
Yes. Green is a safe and popular wedding guest colour. Choose a deep forest and emerald for a winter evening wedding, and sage for a summer daytime wedding.
