How to wear a Zuhair Murad gown
Keep the jewellery to one point of shine. The embroidered gowns need nothing at the neck; the plain cady gowns take a statement earring. Wear a heel that clears the hem, since the gowns are cut long. For the dress code, read the black tie dress code for women; for the colour, see burgundy evening gowns; for sleeves, see long sleeve evening gowns. To compare with the other Beirut houses, read Zuhair Murad vs Elie Saab.
Frequently asked questions
What is Zuhair Murad known for?
Red carpet evening gowns with crystal embroidery, sheer panels and sculpted flowers, shown on the Paris haute couture calendar since 2001. The ready to wear brings the same ideas to gowns you can buy off the rail.

Ready to wear gowns at Coveti run from $5,240 to $12,250. Couture gowns are made to order through the house and are priced on request.
