LONG SLEEVE Black Tie Dresses

Black Tie Wedding Guest Dresses

A black tie wedding guest dress is one of the clearest dress code briefs a guest can receive — the occasion demands a full-length or formal midi gown in a quality fabric that reads as polished for both the ceremony and the evening reception. Elegant long dresses in chiffon, satin, and lace are the strongest choices for black tie weddings, while sequin gowns suit evening receptions where a more glamorous entrance is appropriate. Browse our wedding guest dresses for styles that complement this collection for black tie wedding occasions.

Evening Gowns & Long Formal Dresses

Black tie evening dresses and long formal gowns occupy the most elevated end of the collection — floor-length silhouettes in velvet, structured satin, and embellished fabrics that are designed to photograph beautifully and feel genuinely occasion-appropriate across a full evening. A black tie evening gown in a deep jewel tone or classic black reads as the most considered choice for galas, awards evenings, and formal dinners. Explore our evening dresses for long formal styles that extend this collection.

Find Your Black Tie Style

• Sequin black tie dress:  The most direct statement for a formal evening — sequin dresses in longer silhouettes carry a refined sparkle that suits galas, black tie receptions, and any formal setting where an entrance is expected.
• Long & maxi black tie gown:  Floor-length and inherently formal — a maxi dress in velvet, chiffon, or structured satin is the most consistently appropriate choice for traditional black tie events and formal wedding settings.
• Black tie dresses with sleeves:  A refined choice for cooler-weather formal events and more conservative dress codes — long sleeve and structured sleeved styles offer coverage without compromising the elegance of the occasion.
• Plus size & curvy black tie dresses:  The Goddiva black tie edit includes a full range of plus size formal dresses across every silhouette — sequin gowns, long formal dresses, and midi styles in sizes 16–26, designed with the same finish as the full collection.
• Midi black tie dress:  For modern black tie occasions where a full-length gown would feel excessive — an embellished or structured midi in a rich fabric reads as occasion-appropriate and works particularly well for cocktail-format black tie events.
