This or that?: Looking sensational in slits

It was hard to choose a favourite


March 22, 2015

Retro-designed gowns featuring slits are all the rage with A-listers at the moment. Lily James and Rita Ora recently stunned on the red carpet at the Cinderella success party and Coca-Cola anniversary event, respectively. Donning slits and well-fitted ensembles that accentuated their frames, it was hard to choose a favourite.

Lily James



Hair and make-up

Elegantly untied, the 25-year-old actor wore her dirty-blonde locks in a sleek updo and kept the make-up minimal. Sporting a matte finish, the star went for a dewy-skin look and rocked a non-glossy red lip, winged black liner and a French mani.

Outfit

The Cinderella star looked breathtaking in a twinkling silver Balenciaga bandeau gown, which comprised a tweed texture and an asymmetrical wrap front. The strapless floor-kissing dress with a daring thigh-split showed off her pins.

Accessories

Striking an enchanting pose, Lily stood tall in a pair of chrome-coloured strappy heels and accessorised with diamond ear studs and blingy rings. With those oversized gold buttons set on her dress, who needed more sparkle?

Rita Ora



Hair and make-up

Embodying a retro theme, the ‘Black Widow’ singer kept her gold waxy mane flawlessly styled in a sleek side-parting and loose waves. Adding a dash of contoured make-up to enhance her face shape, the British beauty worked a deep-burgundy pout and pecisely ruled eye-liner coupled with ultra thick lashes.

Outfit

Exuding oomph, Ora stunned in a scarlet satin gown by Veni Vici, which highlighted her red-hot figure. With a high-thigh slit and low-cut side panel, the number was a sight for sore eyes. The gown was cut in a high-neck style, ruched gently across the halter design.

Accessories

The 24-year-old urban pop sensation teamed her bright dress with a pair of pointy red-and-white heels and accessorised minimally with a set of chunky statement rings. Talk about nailing old-school glamour.
