Lonesome Dove

From the red carpet to the after party, this gown is guaranteed to get you past every velvet rope and on somebody’s best-dressed list. Living the glamorous life means having a number of go-to gowns available for last minute events, like this dove gray pin-tucked halter gown from LA-based label Burning Torch. Perfect for the budding ingénue, the dramatic length and careful diagonal pleating of the silk/cotton blend is quite stunning. Minimal accessories are needed; black satin sandals, a sleek matching clutch, piles of diamond tennis bracelets, and hair like Veronica Lake should do the trick. ($275)
