Karolina Kurkova in Valentino at New York City Ballet Fall Gala - magnificent in red!

This a fantastic gown from the Fall/Winter couture runway - the same collection also worn by Sarah Jessica Parker and Anne Hathaway. This is a stunning cut, with mesh yoke and flowing long skirt with mesh panel. But it's the cape that stands out - similar to SJP - with dramatic and billowing razor sharp pleats.

Her dress is couture, which means it's not available online, but I've put together a fun collection of Valentino red pieces. From statement dresses to gorgeous red shoes, and even a few red handbags. This the easiest colour to add to your wardrobe - you don't have to commit to red from head-to-toe, but a red pump absolutely brightens up a new season look, and a slick red handbag is a must-have in every closet!
