Sultry elegance? Louise Redknapp's sheer black dress, knee highs and deep red manicure nailed it
Louise took sultry to the chicest level with her daring LBD and vampy nails


Sultry, slightly daring, but oh-so-elegant - Louise Redknapp was the picture of sophistication in a sheer black LBD with striking boots and a splash of rich colour.
When it comes to choosing a capsule wardrobe, having a trusted outfit to pick out from your staples to step out in and feel instantly glamorous, is a must. Louise Redknapp absolutely nailed that brief when she wore a chic black midi dress with sophisticated black boots. The pop of colour to compliment her monochrome look, came in the form of a perfect, red manicure.
Attending a gala performance of Cabaret At The Kit Kat Club in March last year, Louise was snapped on the red carpet prior to the performance. Her ensemble has a timeless quality meaning it can be worn again and again, or mixed and matched with other items for long-lasting versatility.
Shop sheer black dresses
If you like a touch of sheer with your outfit but don't want to dive as headlong into the trend as Louise, this is the perfect place to start. The unlined sleeves show off the sheer, lightweight mesh design of this midi dress, while the lining of the body gives a little coverage.

Shop Louise's style
Louise wore her hair in loose waves for the event, showcasing lovely, soft blonde highlights. We are absolutely in love with her makeup, and her skin had a gorgeous glow, while the star's eyes stood out with the use of a bold, shimmering dark brown eye shadow.
The shimmer extended to her lips, which were covered in a glossy pale pink. We can't wait to emulate Louise's look, that ticks every box for style, versatility and all-year-round elegance for any event.
