Navy Sequin Dresses: The Rebecca Vallance Cambridge Sapphire Edit

By Coveti Editorial. Read our editorial and AI policy.

The short answer: a navy sequin dress gives you the shimmer of sequin with the restraint of a dark colour, and the Cambridge pieces by Rebecca Vallance do it in a deep sapphire sequin: the Cambridge sapphire sequin mini dress and two gowns. They sit with our Rebecca Vallance gold and blue sequin dresses. Rebecca Vallance is a Sydney occasionwear label founded in 2011, known for structured, lined dresses cut to AU sizing, which matches UK sizing.

Navy is the sequin colour that works in the most rooms. Silver and gold sequin announce a party. Navy reads as evening without reading as costume, which is why it works for a wedding, a work dinner and a New Year’s Eve party alike.

Our picks

1. Cambridge Long Sleeve Mini Dress

Sapphire sequin with long sleeves, a contrast diamante stand collar, a front cut out, a cinched waist and a fitted mini skirt. The collar is the signature: it frames the face like a necklace.

2. Cambridge Long Sleeve Gown in Sapphire

Full length sequin with a crew neckline, long sleeves and shoulder pads. Strong shoulders give a sequin gown a sharper outline.

3. Cambridge Sleeveless Gown

A boat neckline edged with diamante trim, a fitted bodice and a cinched waist. The bare arm makes it the lightest of the three for a warm room.

How to wear navy sequin

Silver and white gold sit naturally with sapphire. Gold works too, as a warmer contrast.

Choose a matte shoe. A suede pump next to sequin looks deliberate. A glitter shoe competes.

Keep make up warm. Cool blue sequin next to cool make up can look flat in photographs.

Frequently asked questions

Is navy sequin appropriate for a wedding?

Yes, for an evening wedding. Navy will not compete with a bride in white, and sequin is right for an evening reception.

Is the Cambridge colour navy?

Rebecca Vallance names the colour sapphire and describes it as a deep sapphire hue. It reads as a dark navy blue.

How do you care for a sequin dress?

All three are delicate dry clean only. Cover the embellishments when cleaning, store the dress folded in tissue, and avoid hanging heavy sequin for long periods.

Yes, according to the brand. See our Rebecca Vallance size guide.
