Yes, you read that right — a sequin dress can play in the day, and we spotted a sea of surprisingly subdued sequin street style looks at every spring 2024 Fashion Week venue. How does one wear a sequin dress for daytime glamour? Prime example: A turtleneck layered under a low-cut cocktail dress, paired with sheer black tights and topped off with a polished wool coat. For office hours, layering a sequin dress over a crisp, white button-down shirt shows you mean business, yet are ready to party when the clock strikes happy hour.

Fun fact: Taylor Swift kicked off her “Midnights Era” in early 2023 wearing a Rabanne dress very similar to this one. It was the first time she ever performed part of the album, and it was only the beginning to her “bejeweled” year (and then some) ahead. So, if want to make “the whole place shimmer,” snag this modern iteration of the brand’s iconic style in bold paillette sequins that shine like a mirrorball.
