LaPointe Red Dresses and Gowns: The Deep Red Holiday Edit

A LaPointe red dress is a floor-length evening piece in the house’s new Deep Red, and Holiday 2026 brings two of them to the LaPointe edit at Coveti: LaPointe Satin Cap Sleeve Slit Dress in Deep Red in satin and LaPointe Shine Jersey Ruched Gown With Slit in Deep Red in shine jersey. Both sit in our designer evening gowns, with the red separates in designer tops.

Red has always been part of the LaPointe palette, in rouge satin and mahogany bias cuts. Deep Red is the Holiday 2026 version: a true red with a little blue in it, which keeps it formal rather than bright. Below, the two dresses, the red pieces that build a full red look, and how they compare.

The two red dresses

1. LaPointe Satin Cap Sleeve Slit Dress in Deep Red

Smooth acetate and viscose satin, a softly draped high neckline, structured cap sleeves and a thigh-high slit in a floor-length line. The house says it fits true to size; it needs professional dry cleaning.

2. LaPointe Shine Jersey Ruched Gown With Slit in Deep Red

Lustrous shine jersey of nylon and elastane, draped at the neckline and ruched at the waist, with a thigh-high side slit. A jersey gown packs better than satin and moves more, so this is the one for travel.

The red separates

LaPointe also builds red outfits from separates, which suit a dinner better than a gown.

3. LaPointe Satin Cape Tee in Deep Red

Doubleface satin that drapes from a high neckline into a soft cape line over the shoulders. Relaxed fit.

4. LaPointe Satin Relaxed Pleated Pant in Deep Red

The house satin trouser: high waist, soft front pleats, a relaxed straight leg, side pockets and flap pockets at the back.

5. LaPointe Velvet Off Shoulder Top in Deep Red

Plush velvet with a foldover neckline that frames the shoulders, fitted through the body.

6. LaPointe Shine Jersey Mock Neck Ruched Top in Deep Red

Shine jersey ruched into a sculptural draped shape with a mock neck, the top half of the red gown in a separate.

LaPointe red compared

How we compared: fabric, length, fit and care are copied from the LaPointe product pages on 7 November 2026; the size run is the Coveti listing, shown on the UK ladder for numbered sizes. Where the house publishes nothing, the cell says so. We list no prices because they change by market.

Earlier LaPointe reds still in stock

For a different red, LaPointe Lightweight Satin Halter Gown in Rouge is a lighter satin in a brighter rouge, and LaPointe Satin Draped Neck Bias Dress With Slit in Mahogany is a brown red cut on the bias. LaPointe Cashmere Silk Turtleneck in Poppy is the knit option for daytime.

Satin, jersey and velvet in red

The same red looks different in each fabric, which matters if you are matching pieces. The satin dress, tee and pant reflect light and look brightest. The shine jersey has a soft sheen and a slightly deeper tone. The velvet absorbs light and reads darkest of all. Wearing two of them together, a velvet top over satin trousers for example, gives a tonal look with depth rather than a flat block of colour.

How to wear a red dress for the holidays

Red does the work, so keep everything else quiet. With the satin slit dress, choose a black strappy sandal and a small black clutch. With the jersey gown, a gold cuff and a low heel. For a red head-to-toe look without a dress, wear the cape tee with the pleated pant.
