Rustina Cut-Out Pleated-Lamé Woven Dress

A little bit dramatic, a little bit demure, the Rustina dress from French label Maje's AW21 edit has enough going on that you need very little by way of finishing touches. The halter neckline is accompanied by front-slit detailing, while the skirt is softly pleated for extra movement. So, whether you're going to dance the night away, or are heading to a dinner date, all you need is a pair of vertiginous heels and clutch to nail Parisian chic.

• 100% polyester; lining: 80% polyamide, 20% elastane

Marrying everyday luxury with a nonchalant elegance, Maje helped popularise the now-iconic 'French' look, and continues to be a touchstone for effortless Parisian style.
