Alicia Keys performed at the World Music Awards 2008 at the Monte Carlo Sporting Club in Monte Carlo, Monaco. She wore the Catherine Malandrino Tuxedo Swing Dress and platform mary-jane pumps. The silk, halter dress features romantic ruffles down the chest, a cinched waist and a-line skirt. The dress previously retailed for $425.00, but is currently on sale for $297.50.
If you’re feeling this look, but the price is too much for your budget, go for the Black Vintage Ruffle Dress. The dress’ skirt has the same silhouette as Alicia’s, inlcuding the a-line skirt and a cinched waist. But instead of the backless halter, it has short sleeves, making it more demure.
It’s perfect for an after-office event or a nice dinner at your favorite restaurant. Pair it with a velvet blazer in a popping color, to shield you against the night air.
The dress is available for $44.95, which is a fraction of what Alicia’s dress’ sale price and is available in regular sizes, up to a XXL.
And for an alternate to Alicia’s shoe option, try the GUESS Borda Platform Mary Janes for $75.95.
