Update your look with classic monochrome florals

Jessica’s eye-catching Carolina Herrera gown is the ultimate in red-carpet glamour. The simple black floral dress is nipped in at the waist, flattering her figure, with a beautifully flowing layered skirt. Teamed with a simple blow-dry and classic black stilettos, this was the perfect look for the eagerly anticipated event at the White House.
A classic monochrome dress is the definitive party staple. Whether you opt for mini, midi or maxi length, it is guaranteed to keep you looking chic and feminine at once. What’s more, it can be dressed up or down according to the event. Add one of this season’s hottest prints and you’re good to go.
Luckily the high street has some lovely options to help us channel the look. Wear Miss Selfridge's floral skater dress (below) with stand out neon accents for a quirky approach to the look. Or make like Jessica and stick to the classic monochrome vibe, with a slick of red lipstick for added sex appeal.
