One of the most sensual features of a dress is a neckline that reveals the shoulders. Celebrities know it well. After all, French movie star Brigitte Bardot’s off the shoulder tops were so iconic that this dress design ended up being named after her. Scroll down for a selection of celebrities wearing off the shoulder dresses – and a few look-alike suggestions:

Wow. Scarlett Johansson’s beauty is incomparable. See what a black Bardot dress, a mighty necklace and a tied up hairstyle can do?

With our Black Bardot Front Split Maxi Dress (£49.00) you can look as fabulous as she does and for a very low cost. This floor-length gown is made of scuba crepe material and combines a lovely Bardot neckline with a flirtatious thigh split! This is a great pick for dinner parties, dates and formal events.

Maxi gowns are not the only dresses that are red carpet material. Here’s Avril Lavigne and a plum midi dress that suits her rebel style.

If you like this vibe, then our Navy Boobtube Sequin Midi Dress (£49.00) will agree with you. A sleeveless boobtube design in an exquisite navy blue colour – this is one of our most stunning sequin dresses. Add a ponytail and a long pair of earrings, a good bracelet and some high-heels and there will be no doubts about who the queen of the dance floor is …

Here’s Rihanna looking like a true diva in a fuchsia pink quilted dress. This is quite a unique number but what makes it so special is a specific blend of elements that you can recreate on a budget.

The reason why Emma Stone’s looks so mesmerising in this picture is the breath-taking effect of a black lace long sleeve dress.

This Black Woven Eyelash Lace Maxi Dress (£79.00) is romantic yet elegant. The gathered detailing on the bust and the black velvet waistband are two  distinctive features of this gracious number. While this is an obvious pick for galas, balls and black-tie events, the true magic of this dress is that it is as perfect for a red carpet as it is for a candlelight dinner.

Let’s wrap up with Kim Kardashian and her navy one-shoulder dress.

Steal her style and surrender yourself to the beauty of our Navy One Shoulder Sequin Midi Dress (£48.00). This gown doesn’t need many accessories for a superb look. A pair of strappy high heel sandals will do the trick – stilettos would be a good pick. It’s one of those items that you should consider adding to your collection of party dresses.
