With a focus on pastels, neutrals, and metallic silvers — a "grounding color for the collection" — STAUD's Sarah Staudinger embraces quiet luxury with essential yet elevated pieces. Designs from the 2010s, like slingback pumps and the iconic Shirley bag, are upgraded to a transitional office-to-evening look, reflecting the brand's pillars of accessibility and empowerment. Crafted of sleek satin, the opulent Ashanti gown from the Los Angeles-based label drapes elegantly in a one-shoulder design and features a bias-cut hem.
