Tika Sumpter is one of fashion’s newest “It” girls, rising to fame because of her roles on Gossip Girl and The Game. I love her style, her always flawless hair, skin and makeup and her bubbly personality that shines through anything she wears.
Alice + Olivia throws some of the best parties around and naturally, Tika was there celebrating the brand’s new Madison Avenue store with dinner at The Lion, rocking the Bianca Structured Sheath Dress. She accessorized with burnt orange Camilla Skovgaard sandals and a leopard print skinny belt, giving the look an edge. This look is absolute perfection and an ideal way for wearing a white dress as Summer rolls around.
Sheath dresses are timeless and feminine, working everywhere from the office, weekends in the Hamptons and nights out with sky-high pumps and a colorful lip. Here are my Spring sheath picks.
When can a woman go wrong in Prada? The Keyhole Back Sheath Dress ($540) is easy and adorable and wearable all year-round. A print dress is a must-have each season and Diane von Furstenberg’s Cyrani Silk Jersey Sheath ($345) is chic and will fit like a glove. Ports 1961 does elegance and femininity like no other brand and the Sheath Dress with Wrap Overlay ($695) will become a go-to piece in your wardrobe. A form-fitting sheath in a great shade will never go out of style and RM by Roland Mouret’s Myrtha Folded Sheath Dress ($1995) is a definite must-splurge for the season.
I can never get enough animal print and DKNY’s Lurex Jacquard Sheath Dress ($295) is on trend for the season as well as being subtly dazzling. If you are a modern working woman, you have to love Elie Tahari and his Emory Canvas Sheath Dress ($368) is tailored to perfection. Another pick from DKNY: the Stretch Iridescent Sheath Dress ($325) is the perfect color for Spring and its ruffle detailing is completely elegant.
Alice + Olivia’s Bianca Structured Sheath Dress retails for $440. Visit www.aliceandolivia.com to purchase and see more images from the dinner party below.
