by Goddiva Account 27 Feb 2025

Velvet dresses are very classy and expensive, so they are great for parties and other special events. The velvet dresses by Goddiva combine classic elegance with modern styles, so you will look beautiful at every event. You can find a full guide to some of the most popular styles and how to make the most of them below:

1. Velvet Maxi Dresses

Velvet maxi dresses are the best way to look classy. Goddiva's dresses are great for formal events or evening galas because they have long skirts, rich colors, and cuts that look good on most body types. The smooth, velvety feel gives the whole thing depth and richness.

Style Tip: Add some attention-getting jewelry and a metallic bag to your outfit to make it look better. If you want the dress to make you look longer, wear heels with it.


2. Velvet Bodycon Dresses

Velvet bodycon dresses are the dress option to go with for those individuals who are looking to create a strong statement. Goddiva's designs are made to accommodate your curves in all the right places while combining comfort and a gorgeous silhouette. These dresses are perfect for cocktail parties or nights out on the town with a date.

Style Tip: Don't wear many other things with this dress; let it speak for itself. The richness of the silk looks great with a bright red lip.


3. Wrap Velvet Dresses

Wrap velvet dresses have a versatile fit that highlights the waist and adds a touch of class. The line from Goddiva features deep jewel tones like emerald and burgundy, perfect for winter weddings or holiday parties.

Style Tip: Pair with ankle boots and a sleek belt to accentuate the waist even more.


4. Off-Shoulder Velvet Gowns

Off-shoulder velvet dresses are beautiful and romantic, making them a great choice for formal events. Many of Goddiva's off-shoulder dresses have beautiful drapes and finishes that make your collarbones and shoulders stand out.

Style Tip: Keep your neckline in the spotlight by wearing your hair in an updo. To add a little shine, wear chandelier earrings.


5. One-Shoulder Velvet Dresses

A one-shoulder velvet dress is a modern and stylish choice that's sure to attract attention. Goddiva's one-shoulder styles often include dramatic details like ruched fabric or thigh-high slits, perfect for evening events.

Style Tip: Pair with statement heels and a clutch bag to complete the look. Highlight your shoulders with a touch of shimmer powder.


6. Velvet Dresses with Embellishments

To add even more luxury to your outfit, choose velvet dresses with embellishments. Goddiva offers a variety of embellished styles, including metallic elements, sequin embellishments, and beaded designs. These looks are perfect for formal events like black-tie affairs or holiday celebrations.

Style Tip: Match your accessories to the embellishment details for a cohesive and polished look.


Velvet dresses are a timeless choice that combines comfort and luxury. Whether you prefer a flowing maxi dress or a chic bodycon silhouette, Goddiva's collection has something for everyone. With the right styling and accessories, you'll be ready to dazzle at any special occasion. Choose the style that resonates with your personality and make your event truly memorable.
