Georgie loves this... because the little red dress just got more potent. The colour red already harnesses mad skills, from raising pulses and flushing cheeks to inspiring great confidence. Then Alexander McQueen gets his hands on it and all other colours surrender hope. In this draped strapless beauty lies the proof a cocktail dress needn't be floor length to be utterly glamourous.

Caroline loves this... because when it comes to panelling, life is better in black and white. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder and art may be subjective but an hourglass figure is undeniable. Antonio Berardi serves up just that on a monochrome platter. With a powerful, sleeveless cut and fierce, bodycon tailoring this dress leaves no room for grey.

Chloe loves this... because Miu Miu's take on resort-wear makes a midwinter break seem less like a dream and more like an unavoidable fact. The deep 1940's 'V' of the halter body, with the simple lines and strong contrasts of the wrap skirt, cut a pretty chic silhouette. Proof that florals needn't be relegated to the echelons of the quaint and kitsch, this ensemble conjures up far more glamorous imaginings. I'll take my drink by the pool dahling.
