Nina Ricci Open-back satin gown

The Nina Ricci Open-back satin gown is the brand at its most pared-back, prioritising fit and finish over flourish.

The 94% Silk, 6% Elastane build comes through in gold, UK 14, with a finish that holds up to close inspection.

Built to outlast a season or two, which is really the point of buying at this level.
