Which Celebrities Wear Solace London? Every Verified Look

Verified Solace London wearers include Lily Collins, in an orange-red backless gown at the Love, Rosie premiere in London on 6 October 2014, and Kristen Bell, in the Lolita gown at the 2018 Emmy Awards. Chrissy Teigen wore the white Chaka maxi to the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards, and Garcelle Beauvais wore the Leni gown on television in 2024.

Celebrity lists for fashion labels are often padded with names nobody can source. This one is not. We have included only the looks we could tie to a published report, with the event and the date. Several names that appear on retailer pages and blogs for Solace London did not pass that test, and we have left them out.

Lily Collins, October 2014

Lily Collins wore an orange-red Solace London gown with an open back to the world premiere of Love, Rosie at the Odeon West End in London on 6 October 2014. W magazine covered the look the following day. It is a good early example of the brand’s approach: a strong colour, a clean front, and the drama saved for the back.

For a similar effect now, choose a warm, bright colour with a sculpted back. The Seri Maxi Dress in Clay is a strapless corseted gown with a wrap-effect skirt and sculpted pleats, in an orange-toned shade. For a deeper red with a sculpted back, the Dandridge Maxi Dress in Red has a boned strapless bodice and a folded back detail.

Chrissy Teigen, June 2015

Chrissy Teigen wore Solace London’s white Chaka maxi dress to the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York. The high slit tore on the night, and she joked about it afterwards.

The Chaka is not in the current range, but the brand still makes clean white columns. The Claudette Maxi Dress in Pearl is a pleated strapless maxi with a long, simple line. Pearl is a bridal shade, so keep it for a party where white fits the dress code.

Kristen Bell, September 2018

Kristen Bell wore the Solace London Lolita gown on the red carpet at the 2018 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles in September 2018. Yahoo covered the look in a report published on 18 September 2018, a year after the brand’s New York Fashion Week debut.

Coveti carries a current Lolita Maxi Dress in Black, a floor-length style with a long-sleeved bodice. Solace London reuses style names across seasons, so we cannot confirm this is the same design Bell wore in 2018, but it carries the name and the brand’s clean evening line.

Garcelle Beauvais, November 2024

Garcelle Beauvais wore the Solace London Leni gown in ivory, a cape-effect design in crepe and faille, in the first episode of season 14 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, which aired in November 2024. This was a television look rather than a red carpet, and it shows an ivory Solace London gown working well away from a wedding.

Get the look

For a sculptural ivory gown, the Andress Maxi Dress in Cream is a strapless style with a corseted bodice and a sculptural ruffle overlay in bonded crepe. The two-tone Arla Maxi Dress in Cream and Black is a strapless gown with a sculptural sleeve and pleated bodice, one of the brand’s Icons.

The verified looks at a glance

Names we left out

Several other famous names appear next to Solace London on retailer pages, blogs and social posts. We could not find a dated report from a publication for any of them, so they are not on this list. We also found no verified red-carpet sightings for 2025 and 2026. If a new look is confirmed by a reliable source, we will add it with the event and date. Until then, treat any longer list of Solace London celebrities with some caution, and look for the date, the event and the publication behind each name.

The pattern behind the looks

Look at the verified looks together and a pattern appears. All four are long evening dresses. The three whose colours are on record are single solid shades (orange-red, white, ivory), and each of those is defined by one detail: an open back, a slit, a cape effect. That is the brand’s approach, and it suits women who are photographed often. The detail is big enough to read on camera, and the rest of the dress gets out of the way.

The looks also span a decade, from 2014 to 2024, and a gown like the one from the 2014 premiere would not look out of place at an event now. The shapes avoid trends that date quickly.

Why celebrities choose the label

The brand’s shapes are made for cameras. A plain colour, a single strong line and a structured bodice photograph cleanly from any angle, and they look the same at the end of the night as at the start. The founders describe their aesthetic as “Bold, confident, refined”, which is a fair description of what a stylist wants on a red carpet. The dresses are also easy to read in a photograph. A Solace London gown is recognisable by its line, not by a logo.

What the looks tell you about fit

All four verified looks are cut close to the body, and all four depend on fit. The open back on Lily Collins’s gown only works if the bodice stays put. A slit only works if the skirt sits right at the hip. That is why, if you want to recreate any of them, the size matters more than the style. Measure carefully, and choose the larger size in boned styles if you are between two.

How we verify a celebrity look

For each name here we found a dated report from a publication that names Solace London, the dress and the event. Where we only had a search snippet, a social post, an unsourced list, we left the name out. If you see a look attributed to the brand elsewhere, check the date and the source before trusting it, because style names and similar shapes are often confused.

How to wear it like a red carpet

Keep everything else simple. Celebrity looks in Solace London tend to pair the dress with minimal jewellery, sleek hair and a plain heel, so the shape is the focus. Choose one strong colour. Make sure the dress fits closely, because the camera notices a loose bodice; our Solace London size guide has the body chart. Wear heels at the height you will wear on the night when the dress is hemmed.

Where the brand has shown

Solace London made its New York Fashion Week debut in September 2017 with its Spring 2018 collection. Its first stockist was Selfridges, followed by Net-a-Porter. The red-carpet looks above came before and after the New York debut, and together they show how the label built its name: through department stores, a few well-chosen red carpets and dresses that photograph well.

Buying a red-carpet look safely

A dress that has been on a red carpet is the one most likely to be copied. If you find a celebrity style for sale, buy from the brand, from an established retailer, from Coveti, and on resale check that the label and care tag are intact. Our guide to Solace London real versus fake explains what a genuine dress and the brand’s own website look like.
