A study in modern Hollywood glamour, this strapless silk taffeta column gown from Oscar de la Renta’s Resort 2015 collection captures the designer’s signature balance of structure and romance. Rendered in electric neon pink silk taffeta, the silhouette is sharply tailored through the bodice before falling into a sleek column with sculptural volume at the hips.

The design features an internal corseted bodice with boning and built-in cups for support and shape, while discreet side pockets lend a relaxed elegance to the otherwise formal silhouette. The skirt falls into a long column with a back slit for movement and fastens with an invisible zipper at the back.

Resort 2015 was among the final collections overseen by Oscar de la Renta before his passing in October 2014, marking the end of one of fashion’s most legendary design eras. The identical style was worn by Zooey Deschanel to the 2014 Emmy Awards, a perfect reference for the gown’s timeless red-carpet appeal.

The silhouette echoes some of the most iconic moments in Hollywood fashion history, including the hot pink column gowns worn by Marilyn Monroe in "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and Madonna in the “Material Girl” video.

Made in the USA.
